“A long time age there was a woman living by herself and she used to iron shirts for a Priest.”
One night she was ironing one and she heard music out side she looked out and saw nothing, but the music was still playing.
She got such a fright that she went into bed. She left the iron on a cup and when she got up in the morning the iron was in some other place and the shirt was ironed and another one as well and a collar.
She had another shirt and it was all [?]
It is said it was the fairies that did it.
