- One day Peter McGourty was searching for his cattle. This man lived in teh townland of Sleivenakilla, Co. Leitrim. He was going along a river at a place called Cainal Bog. He saw a man with a box counting money. He said, "You have a good supply of money, my little fellow." The little Leipreachán said, "hasn't that man behind you twice as much." The man looked behind him and when he turned his head again the leipreachán was gone.
