- If Biddy Early came into a house and the people churning she would take the butter from them. One time there was an old woman out in Clare. She had the finest "bawn" of cows you could lay eyes on and during one week not a bit of butter would come in the churn if she was churning till morning. Nothing but froth and an awful smell out of it. There was a calf after dying on the woman's neighbour. Biddy Early had the dead calf dug up and buried in the woman's land.
