    (continued from previous page)
    stepmother went away from their home the night of the full moon and the witches must have transformed them into sheep. So Annetta was married to Nesio.
    From that day until now the little lake can be seen on the left hand side of the road in the townland of Doohill where Annetta used to look into and the rock may be seen where the woman was transformed into a sheep.
