- about nine or ten years ago there lived in Ballintemple an old lady called Fairy Harriet. One day her son sold pigs in a fair. He asked the man to inform to whom he sold them if he had milk to feed them. He said he had and the next day his cows bad very little milk. The man then went to the priest, who told him his cows would give milk again if he gave them some of their own milk to drink. The next morning Fairy Harriet was seen around his house in the form of a hare and it is believed it was she who had taken the milk from the cows.
