    the Bean-Shee.
    The Fairy Funeral started from Mr Walsh's hill which is in the Village of Oldthort it went along at the back of Mrs Walsh's old house. Mr Callaghy saw it and they stood up and one them asked where will they bury him another said they will bury him in Mr Martin Molloy's.
    When a person would die Mrs Jennings would know if the Bean-Shee would cry for that person or not.
