- Neans Nagle was going to Leap wan foggy evening and behind Jamesy Crowley's she slipped and falling, she broke the fall with her hand and she went up home again, and when she went in home she said she felt like a burning in her side, like the burning of a kettle and she told her son to go to Máire Ni Cearbaill, bean feasa and it was in the winter time, and he started off about ten or eleven in the night and he reached there about five in the morning
Máire Ni Cearbaill was inside saying her prayers and when she had them said she told him that she knew his business and she told him that it was a"Foxy Woman" that threw his mother, and only for she breaking the fall with her hand she was dead and she told him to tell her not to go out any other foggy or hazy evening because it was the foxy woman's business to kill people.
