Caherrobert, County Mayo

It is said that there was a Bean Sidhe in the village of Cross one time. This Bean Sidhe would steal everything she could find from the people of the village.
Every night she used to go to the graveyard wailing. The people of the village were very much afraid of her. Every one in the village would be indoors before twelve o'clock at night.
One of the men of the village said he would go to the graveyard and see was it the Bean Sidhe, who was stealing the things from the people. When he went to the graveyard who was the Bean Sidhe but one of the women of the village. She was making them afraid by her crying, and was stealing all the things from the people.
