  1. One time George Campbell of Lecamy was hired with Tom Mooney of Meenletterbale and he was in league with the devil and no matter how much he spent he had always a half-crown in his pocket. On Halloweve Night the devil used to come for him and he had to go around the house with the rosary beads in his hand all that night until the morning came.
