    "Some people used to make a lot of butter more than would be natural. One plan they had was to have the hand of a dead man. They would go to the grave nine days after the burial and cut off the right hand and carry it home with them. They would have it hanging in the chimney and they used do some devilment with it and they making the churn. People west there in Burradrinagh had it."
