“There was a girl named Anna McArdle who was taken away with the fairies.”
There was a girl named Anna McArdle who was taken away with the fairies. she is the Bean Sidhe who cries for the McArdles. My great grand father and my grand father were going to my great grand father's uncle's wake in Newry and when they were going round a corner the saw the Bean sidhe and she cried three times.
Before she was taken away by the fairies Anna lived in Courtbane. She still cries for the McArdles. My father heard the Bean-sidhe when my grand father died.
