- A few years ago, a strange thing happened in my townland. In the month of September, a man by the name of Tady Paddy Moynihan, fell sick, and died. He was very fond of cattle. If ever it happened that all the people of one house should go somewhere, he would go and tend their cattle, after attending to his own. He did this for one man in the townland of Milléen Báwn, named John Moynihan. the night Tim Moynihan died, John Moynihan's cows left the field they were in, and came outside the door of the dead man, and began to roar. They continued roaring for an hour. They then left, and went back to the field.
