  1. (continued from previous page)
    There are trees and crosses in them. A woman was buried in Ballysheehan and it was on a rainy day that she was buried. She had some gold rings on her fingers. That night two young men thought it a pity to have the rings buried with her so they opened the grave and coffin but they weren't able to take the rings off her fingers. They cut her fingers and got the rings but when they had her fingers cut off she woke up. The two men fled for their lives.
