  1. Long years ago a woman in the form of a hare used to milk people's cows and when the owner would come he would only get a small drop of milk and when churning they would get no butter.
    This happened to Naulty's in the big meadow Coole, Kilmainham Wood, Co. Meath. These women could not be killed except by a silver sixpence as many people attempted to do so.
