- There was one time a woman living near Streete. She had a cow grazing in Daramona. The cow usen't to give her milk either night or morning. She watched the cow this evening and she seen a hare sucking her. She got four greyhounds to try to kill the hare but they couldn't catch her. There was a priest in Boherquill at the time and the woman told him. He came with a black greyhound and he ran the hare through the fields and into Streete. She made for one of the houses, but just as she was jumping across the half door, the greyhound took a lump out of her hip. When the people went in to the house, there was an old witch in the corner and a lump out of her hip.
