    If the Sidhe Gaoth blows on the side of the road about noon some one living on that side of the road will die before midnight. There was an old man in Glanderry long ago named Seán a Cathail and when hed see the Síde Gaoth hed make the sign of the Cross and say in Irish
    Dia Mór libh a buacaillí agus ná leag mé.

    Seán Mac Eilliogóid,
    Túirín na Gaoithe,

    An máighstear, Muiris Ó Loingsig a d'innis an méid sin dom.
