  1. The Water-Horse

    Share Share Post
    The old people say they often saw the water horse out grazing on Paddy Devines land in Ballinacurra. They used to see his tracks in the morning. It is also said that the water horse is able to draw you in to the water with his breath. He is like a small pony.
