  2. Crying Following Sullivan Brothaill Family

    Share Share Post
    An old woman of the old Sullivan Brothaill family from Dursey Island was married in Beárnas (Allihies ). When she grew old, she got sick and her daughter-in-law was up this night caring her. There was no living soul with her. Out in the night she heard the lone woman crying around the house. She didn't run or stir from where she was. The old woman died the next night.
    The crying she heard was not the bean-sidhe, but some one of her people that were dead that came back.
