1. The Wail of the Bean Sí

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   In Rylands, Newtowncunningham, there once lived a family named Denn, and, queer as it may seem to most of us, the wail of a been-sidhe was always heard before the death of a member.
   A clergyman thought this was all nonsense until he was called to the bedside of a dying Miss Dunn. Her friends sat around. He joined the company, and after a prayer, was very much surprised to hear in the distance, the wail, as of someone in distress. The others heard it too, and shortly afterwards the patient passed away.
   From that time onwards the reverend gentleman often told the above story, remarking that "there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
