  1. once upon a time a man left Donegal and when he was a long way up the road he heard a very heavy foot coming after him. At last it appeared in the form of a pig and at last into a bag of feathers. It kept in front of him to Ballintra and it then disappeared until he came through the town. The next time it appeared it was in the form of a turkey and at last into the shape of a coach. Then it disappeared at a place called Fillard, but when the man came further on it came again in the form of a man and it walked with him till he came to Fayogh Bridhe. The man was very frightened although he was often out at night before and he went to bed for three days after.
