Story entitled 'An t-Each Uisge' about a water-horse in Carishader, Lewis, 6 May 1874 and 1891

Story entitled 'An t-Each Uisge' collected from Iain Macleod, Bhaltos [Valtos, Eilean Leòdhais /Isle of Lewis]. The story concerns a family from Carasiatar [Cairisiadar/Carishader] who were bothered by a young water-horse, every time the husband was away from home. A wise man in the village told the husband to put on his wife's clothes and when the water-horse came to the house and asked who was in, the husband was to reply ' 'S mi-fein 's mi fein' ['Myself and myself']. This all happened and that night the water-horse got beaten up and went away crying. When the old water-horse asked who had done this to him, the young water-horse replied 'Mi fein s mi fein'. The old water-horse then said that if anyone did that to him again he would seek revenge.
