  1. There was a man named Finian Bán who lived about seventy years ago, and he could foretell when trouble would be in a house. One night he was passing by a house and there was a dance, and music in the house, and he said there would be crying in the house before a week. A person died in the house before a week. He had charms because he read prayers out of a priest's book and cured many people. He foretold many things that came true.
