    “Long ago people believed that there was a God called the wind.”

    Long ago people believed that there was a God called the wind. Well this is supposed to be that time when this happened. The wind used to moan sigh and used to often appear like a little red woman. She would take people up in her arms and leave them down a far distance away.
    This happened mostly in West Meath.

    “In Fagens at night they have to leave a lamp lit all night, because if they did not the chairs tables and stools will start dancing round the room.”
