“There was a teacher named Mrs Mulcahy, teaching in Skeheenarinky, N.S. She was lodging at Loughanna.”
She had a long journey to come to school. She had to pass a lios. One morning as she was one morning as she was passing, she walked very near the lios. Her leg got entangled in a root, it swelled up and she went home again and it got very sore. She could not get it to cure, a lot of doctors attended her, and they could do nothing for her. She wrote to her mother and her mother told her to get a poultes of black turf and to put it to her leg as hot as she could bear it, she did as she was told and after a few days it was cured.- One night a man was coming home from a fair, he was drunk, when he was as far as "Tuar Cross" he hit up against something. He opened his eyes and he saw a white woman standing before him. He said to her "what do you want there for", the woman was seen there every night, and she was never seen after that.
