    Story
    There is a little road in our village leading to a wet, damp piece of land. It is a very small road and the people call it “bóirín”. The old people say a light is seen there on a May night and on a November night. One night a man was coming from visiting and a woman dressed in white came out before him. He told the neighbours when he came home, and they said it was for a death, and the next day a cow died in the man.
