- Once upon there lived a man in Barnagh named Shaughnessy he married a wicked woman.
One night she attacked a boy in the road in the form of a hound she begane spitting fire at him the boy had a bottle of holy water he sprinkled it around himself and she could not catch him. the boy sprinkled some of the holy water on top of her and she disappeared.
The priest of that parish made her do penance and she had to drain the sea with a bottomless timble.- Collector
