- Ned McGuigan of Drumgoose was minding cows in a field beside Middletown. He went to the top of the field and lifted a a stone and found a half penny and the next day he got a penny and every day the money doubled itself. His mother and father wondered to see how much money he had and made him tell where he got it. He told and never got any more.

“It was believed that some people had a bad heart and could 'blink'.”
Laurence Hughes Groves. age 60
It was believed that some people had a bad heart and could "blink".
Two old woman lived beside Wards Crossroads.
They had a calf. It was alright when they fed it at dark. A neighbour man had been admiring it. After an hour had elapsed they went out to see it and it could't rise. They heard that a priest
was visiting in Hughes and went for him. He asked for some Holy Water. Got a whip and struck it three times. The last time it jumped up as well as ever it was. - Informant
