    There was a spirit long ago who was called Spred Na Bearna. She used to go around by night and knock the cocks of hay and frighten the people. One night my Granduncle saw her going by a stream combing her hair. A priest worked his power on her and vanished her. Some say she was not there atall.

    This story was told to me by my Grandmother Mrs Mary Galvin age 76 years.
