    One evening a girl from our place was going to a wake and she fell asleep while she was walking. She walked over water and she was not a bit wet. She kept walking until morning. As soon as the sun shone in the morning she woke and went to the nearest house. There she was told that she was six miles from her own home. She was shivering when she woke and she was put to bed and she never left it until she died.
