- Joe Carolan, Ballinalack, Rathowen, Co. Westmeath aged about 60 told this story. There is a Leipreachan in Clonave bog and he was seen by a man named Tom Cox. He was going home from Multyfarnham and he had to cross Clonave bog. While he was going through a wood in the bog he saw a Leipreachan sitting under a mushroom and he was working away making a shoe and he had a red three cornered hat.
