    night about eleven o' clock.
    7. There is a field situated in Shea's lane which Mr Watt White owns. It is said that nobody can work in this field in the afternoon. Something would be pelting at the horses and they would get restless and they would have to go home. They believe that if they continued the horses would die.
    8. The Beanshee is said to follow some people when they are about to die. She can be heard crying outside the house in which the person is dying.
