Joe explains that there are both good and bad fairies. The <i class=\"cor-cainte-teangan-eile\">p\u00faca<\/i>, somebody with only one eye and one ear. The fairies hate the <i class=\"cor-cainte-teangan-eile\">p\u00faca<\/i>. Then there&#8217;s the evil spirit, which comes in the form of the devil, with the cloven hoof. Then there&#8217;s the<i class=\"cor-cainte-teangan-eile\"> taidhbhse<\/i><sup class=\"tagairt-n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">1<\/sup>: someone who dies and comes back from the dead. The<i class=\"cor-cainte-teangan-eile\"> s\u00ed\u00f3g<\/i><sup class=\"tagairt-n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">2<\/sup> can be either male or female and is related to the <i class=\"cor-cainte-teangan-eile\">bean s\u00ed<\/i><sup class=\"tagairt-n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">3<\/sup>. The <i class=\"cor-cainte-teangan-eile\">bean s\u00ed<\/i> was the woman who cried over all the people who died that belonged to her when she was on Earth, whenever that may be.<\/p>\n<p>Joe then changes the subject somewhat, going on to describe how when somebody died, a keening<sup class=\"tagairt-n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">4<\/sup> woman would come to the wake and cry over that particular person, maybe not someone of their own, but they were crying over their own as well as the one who had just died. When the corpse was taken to the graveyard the keening women would go to the graveyard and keen over their own graves as well. At one time, the corpse would lie in the house for three days and nights, and no one would do any manual work at that time. Nowadays, the corpse is taken to the church on the second night, and money changes hands (is given to the priest), and keening doesn&#8217;t happen any longer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">1.
