    home along the Creagh road from the town of Ballinasloe. She was taking by the fairies, and every night she went to her own home to rock her child. One night she told her husband that if he met her at a certain time and threw dirt at her she would be able to come back to him. He met her and she came home to him on a white horse. He threw the dirt at her and then she went home with him.
