- Story
There was once an old woman who lived in this part of the country who used to play piseógs. One May Eve night a priest was crossing the fields home when he saw a woman walking around a garden with a long rope in her hand and she saying “All to me and none to he”. The priest knelt down outside the ditch and said half to me and half to he, he then went on his way home because he knew the old woman could do no harm then.
