- There was a witch at Bealaha 4 miles west of Doonbeg. It is said she killed every one who passed by her house with a big knife. One day a man from Galway was going the road on horse-back, and the witch ran out and she jumped up behind him on the horse. Before she could draw her knife the man stuck her with a black-handled pen-knife through the heart. "Draw and stick again" said the witch. "Bíodh an diabhal agat," said the man, and he stuck the knife deeper and killed her. Next day when the people came to bury her they found nothing but a crowd of frogs in a heap where she died.
