“My father knew a woman who was in the fairies.”
My father knew a woman who was in the fairies for over a year. Another woman was left in her place. The husband sent for the priest and asked him to put out the fairy woman. The priest did so and the man's wife came back. She walked in out of cowhouse. The cow was roaring for she was worth: it seems the fairies were trying to bring the cow.
That night the woman's sister died suddenly. It was said the fairies took her when they were forced to give back the other woman.
