- A woman, who lived with her daughter and son-in-law, died.
She owed a dish of meal to one woman and 1/6. to another.
After she died they heard a knock at the window.
The man said "That is like Mary's tap." He opened the door and saw her. She told him of her debts and to get a Mass said for her. She told him she must stay in a gooseberry bush in his garden until this was paid.
