- Along time ago a woman lived in East Clare named Biddy Earley. She was supposed to be able to cure any kind of sickness of people. People came from both far and near to be cured by her. It is by charms and spells that she cured sicknesses. She was married but her husband died. She had a bottle which must have been magic because she cured the people with its contents. If a patient sent a messenger to her and if she saw him coming a-far off, she could tell what was his trouble before he told her at all.She could tell him when the patient was alright. The priests were very much against her. But however Biddy did a very peculiar thing before she died. She changed to be a great Catholic in her old age.
