- There was a man living in Tipperary and the milk he used to get from his cows was watery. He told his story to his neighbour and he told him to stay up on May Eve that there was pishogues worked on his cows so he stayed up. After awhile a man came with a candle, a book and a gallon. He used to read a little and milk a little. The man knew he was working pishogues and he jumped out and caught him and summoned him for trespassing.
