A Story
12th July 1938
About one hundred years ago a man went out hunting and he saw a hare.
His hound ran after the hare, he hunted her all day long and in the evening she made her escape through the window of an old hut. The man followed the hare into the hut, and when he went in he saw an old woman sitting on a stool.
This hare happened to be a witch. She used to turn herself into a hare and go round sucking milk from cows.

One night there were two boys coming home from visiting. It was about twelve o'clock. They heard lovely music inside; they listened for a while and they began to dance. When they started they could not stop until the cock crew in the morning. After that they were the best dancers in the country. INFORMANT: John Kelly, Address, Prison North, Co. Mayo
