    he dreamt that his comrade was attacked by a spirit at the boundary between Tournageehy and Mountcoal.
    He couldn't rest, and he went off to where he thought he saw his companion. When he arrived he saw his companion dead and the spirit standing beside him. The man said to the spirit "You killed my friend." "I did" said the spirit and I'll kill you too."
    The man had a hazel stick, and he attacked the spirit until his stick was gone. Then the spirit disappeared.
