  1. A Story.
    Once upon a time a woman died in the parish of Feenagh in Co. Limerick. A short time after her death her husband saw her sitting at the fire. He tried to speak to her but he couldn't utter a word. After a short time she stood up and walked out. When she was outside the window she spoke and told her husband to go to a certain shop and pay a small amount of money that was due of her. The next morning he went to the shop and found that the exact sum of money she had mentioned was due. He paid it and saw her no more.
