- The Witch
[-]
One time there was a family + they were getting no profits off the milk, + they went to a witch who told them to take the coulter of a plough and put it in the fire for to redden, + who ever enters the house while the coulter is getting red will get the profits. A man came in and they were going to tear him asunder. Ever afterwards they had a good profit on the milk.

“One night there was a concert in Rathdrum...”
One night there was a concert in Rathdrum & there was a man in it from the [?] of the castle & when the concert started a boy came in & took the man by the hand & took him out & he never saw the boy & everyone else that was there saw him. The man stood up & went out & was travelling all night & he came out at Flemings of Sleesed & Mr Fleming had to go home with him (Sleesed is a local place name in Aughavanagh. POT.)
