    There was a man in the Ballagh who was very fond of card-playing. One night he was coming home after winning a lot of money and as he was coming by a certain gate a man stepped out and asked him would he play a game of cards.
    He said he would. They lit a candle and just as they were about to start a card fell on the ground. The man stooped to pick it up. He saw the devil's foot. When he got up he had a bend in his back. He had the bend in his back to the day he died.
