Jack Flynn a man from Castleisland Co Kerry used to go to the cross roads every night. He dressed himself like a devil and frightened the people. He wore a big black cloak with a turnip with the middle scooped out and he had holes in it and it looked like a face. A lighted candle was placed in the the turnip and smoke came out the holes. He put the turnip on his head. One night two soldiers came up to the cross he put the turnip on ditch and ran. The soldiers put two holes in the turnip with shots and ran away because more (holes) smoke came from the holes they made. People thought for a long time that it was the devil.
