  1. A tailor named Michael Regan living at Boithrín a Leasa in the parish of Bartlemy, Co. Cork dreamt of a crock of gold being hidden in the lios. He went to the lios. He saw a man dressed in a red suit. The man asked him what he came there for. Regan told him.
    The man asked Michael Regan to make a suit of clothes for him. He said he would.
    A few weeks later as he was passing near by the red man appeared to him and asked him if he had the suit of clothes. The tailor told him to call to morrow.
    Next day he was sitting on the table. He was thrown off it and killed.
