    A woman stood before him and when-ever he tried to pass her she was always lying before him. The hedges were all lighted up with beautiful lights. After a while a cock crew. The man blessed himself and immediately the woman disappeared.
    Cúil witch is so called because a fairy was often heard crying there from Christmas day till New Years day when any person around that place died.
