- There was a woman who was living in Ross, in an old house. She was going about the country singing. She was annoying the people. At night she would not go to bed. One night she was walking on the road and a fairy appeared to her. He asked her what had her out so late, and she went home and a week after that she got sick and died. The woman was Biddy Prunty and Hugh Murphy knew her.
