   One day a man was passing down Ballyfrunk road and he saw a man in a field, whom he knew to be dead a few years, counting money. The man went over to him and asked him to give him some money. The man said he would give him as much as he wanted if he would be home and have the door blocked with hen dung. The man said he would not like to chance it because the fairies would come very quickly and kill him on the way.
