    a man coming towards him very quickly until he reached the circle. Then he began to walk round the circle until the man inside the circle threw some holy water on him, whereupon he went back some distance from the circle. Then he flung the bottle at the man who then vanished. Then Tom Farragher went home and he never slept on the roadside again.
