    Liselican met the Banshee & snapped her comb. She said to him "This day week you will be in Kiltennel" & sure enough he was in his grave.
    Kathleen Fenlon tells that when Thos Murphy Ballynattin was going home from Mrs Byrne's wake he saw the Bean-Sidhe. She followed him to his own door & started keening outside. Thos sprinkled Holy Water around the door & the wailing woman went away.
