    witch, so he went and she told him they were in a drain very near his own land and one of their heads was lying up the hill and the other down the hill, and the one that was lying up the hill was alive and the one that was lying down the hill was dead. So he went to where she told him and got them in that very spot.

  2. Fairy Funeral
    One day a man was working in a field in Rasheinmore and he saw a great big funeral going along the road and he went up to see who was the funeral. When he went up he saw no funeral so he waited for a while and it never came so it was a fairy funeral.
