- Story There is a graveyard near Shanlis, Ardee and it is said that a man named Spears was buried in it and his brother went up there at night to look at his sheep and the man ran after him and that was because he did not go to visit him when he was sick. He could not go up to that graveyard ever after but his sisters could go around the graveyard anywhere they liked and he would not touch them, because they were kind to him when he was sick

Just as she was going to sleep, she heard the door of the room opening and she turned round to find a very small fairy woman standing by the door, and the woman asked the fairy what she wanted and the fairy said
'Give me some tea and tonight at twelve you will be the richest woman that ever walked- Collector
