    Callan was stripped going to bed and was not thinking of Ashey Pet at all Ashey Pet came down and him as a dog and seized the man by the throat. It took all the servants to set him free. This is the hour he got relief the servants saved the head of the cat, but in a few days Callan died, and ever after that field was called the castle field and the well was called Tobhar a chait. The foundation of the castle is to be seen yet.
