One time she bought a pair of brown shoes in O'Toole's in the town of Clifden. she died before she had them half wore and she had'nt paid for them. No one wore them and so they were left alone. one night her brother saw her dressed in white and she came out of a big hedge of bushes. She was buried three years before she appeared to him.
