Summary

The Seanalair Dubh and the Devil.

The Seanalair Dubh met a stranger on the road, who told him he would meet him in his lodge on the moor on a certain night. The Seanalair Dubh was afraid, and had with him the strongest men on the estate. When the stranger came to the door he was refused entry. A fight ensued and the house collapsed, killing all but one.

The next day they were all brought back for burial. The weather was very stormy until the Seanalair Dubh's body was put to the back of the procession.
