  1. A certain woman once lived in The Green, Cashel. She always had her bed in the kitchen, and on the wall opposite it, hung a mirror.
    One night she saw a woman with gray hair in the mirror. Three nights after that, a woman with the same head of hair came into the kitchen, and took something off the fire. The owner of the house, on making enquiries found that a woman of that description had died there before she bought it.
