- (continued from previous page)Told by:- Miss Maye, Danescourt, Athboy.
- Once upon a time a man told me a story about a banshee. She was like a black cock he said.
When his father died the banshee came around the house and cried for nights and nights.
Another time a woman whose name was Mrs Daly of Killallon died. A banshee came and Nancy was staying with Granny and she told her that it was a dog. This banshee was in a big tree at Daly's house and stayed there for three months without ever going. Written by:- Grace Crawford, Stirrupstown, Clonmellon,
Told by:- Mrs Crawford, Killallon, and Mr Lipscomber, Edenbunt, Lisduff, Kells. - Collector
