   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Relatives of dying persons hear what appears to be the ticking of a clock, in their own homes, in places where there is no time-piece at all.

3. An Approaching Death

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   To hear a cock crowing a very unusual hour, especially if he crows in the kitchen, is looked on as a sign of a coming death. The “banshee” announces the death of members of certain families. It may be heard in a number of forms – usually that of a weird cry fleeting crying.

   People say that you could travel churchyards on Christmas Night, without fear, because the Mother of God was out also. On Christmas Night the youngest child should light the Christmas candle, then all should kneel to say a little prayer. The Rosary should be said afterwards. When going to bed that night people would not bolt the doors nor would they take food off the table. It was the wayfarer's night
