  1. 64. Fairies, The Banshee; Mermaids
    There is very little of any belief in Fairies around this district.
    The Banshee is still believed in - One was supposed to have been seen by a man who lived in [Betaghstown?]. A little woman in black an white was sitting at the side of a lane with a umbrella in her hand.
    This man who was passing by said "Halloo" but got no answer. Shortly after that an Aunt of his died.
    This incident happened about 18 years ago.
