- Long ago there lived a man in Killblaffer who was very fond of card - playing.
One night he went to Aghabulloge for a game and when coming home he saw a woman under a bush at the foot of Cillcolman hill.
She came out and confronted him saying "Take me on your back to the top of the hill". The man was afraid knowing she was not a real woman.
He stooped down, put her on his back and took her to the top of the hill.
Stooping down he left her off again. She said "You are not yet finished. Now you must take me to (Minkie) Mickie Spence's bridge".
Again he took her on his back to the bridge and left her down there.(continues on next page)
