- The white woman of MaumaOne night a man from Moulnahorna was returning home from Millstreet.
His business kept him very late & it was about midnight or after when he was going by the "airy road" at Mauma. A dog leaped out on the road before him and jumped up & tried to "claw" him off the horse {with her "claws" the bean sidhe is always supposed to injure people}
The rider drew out his penknife & tried to stick it in the Sprid. After several attempts he felt the knife stick in something & he let it go. The dog disappeared.
The next fair day in Macroom Goggin was speaking to a Creedon man from Carriganima and the latter pulled a penknife from his pocket to cut tobacco.
