Visions and Beliefs in the West of Ireland

"I was knocked up by him one night to go to the house, because he said they were calling to him. But when they got there, there was nothing to be found.  But some see these things, and some can't.  It's against our creed to believe in them.  And the priests won't let on that they believe in them themselves, but they are more in dread of going about at night than any of us."

~Bartley Coen
