- A Story.
Once upon a time there lived a woman in Lettermore. She took all the milk from the cows in the neighbourhood by means of witch-craft.
One morning two men who lived near her, went out with two dogs to catch her. When she went to turn into the shaps of a hare. One o fthe dogs bit her leg. The men followed her. She turned into her own shape. The men saw that her leg was bleeding. They said, my old lady, we had near to get you this morning. She never came out after that. Rose Mc Kelvey,
