    she wanted to have this girl as well as her sister, and she told the priest her name was Sally Brogan. The priest took his riding whip, and began to to beat her out of the house, and never stopped until, they came to a bog, where she disappeared down in a bog-hole, and was never seen or heard again. The sick girl got better soon after that. This story really happened.
