   Long ago the people in north Kerry used to be carrying butter to Cork to sell it there. In the side of the Cork line there is a pencil quarry and there is a dyke of water running into it. The horses used to turn in there to take a drink. There was a spirit there and she used to rub sulpur to her face. That used to shine like a light in the night and used to frighten the people. They used to fall in a weakness. One night named Walsh passing the road. His horse turned in for a drink. The spirit came down the field. He lay back in the car by the way in a weakness. She came on searching his pockets. He caught her and tied her up with a rope. He carried her into the guards and she was transported.
