   A Haunted Room
   There was a man in Bunlahy named Salmon. He was married, but his wife died, and he got married again without waiting too long.
   One night soon after he was married he had to stay up at night to mind a sow with a litter of pigs. There was straw on the floor, and he lay down on it. About twelve o'clock a white woman came down out of the room and walked across his feet. He closed up the room, and while he lived it was never opened.

   A man and a woman lived alone. The man was very sick: one night a little woman came in and asked 'a charity'. The woman said she had nothing to give. 'You have plenty of money and eggs' said the little woman and before this day twelve months you'll have lots of meat. Man died soon after and before end of year all cattle, pigs etc died.
