    It is a sign of death to hear a dog crying or a cock crowing, or a cry like a woman or if the top of your finger was blue.

  3. There is a field in John Doona's of Cappagh and one night Mike Doona went in there about 10 o'c and he got Meascán Mearaidhe and he was going astray for about half-an-hour. At last he found himself near a gate and he got hold of it. He opened it and got out on the road. When this happens a man turns his coat inside out and he is able to find his way.
