  1. In Dunshaughlin there is a moat.
    There is a big hole in the middle of it.
    About twenty years ago a man dug this hole to see if he could find anything but he did not find anything, and for some years after every amimal that went near that place died. One time a man was near the moat and he saw a cat but when he came up to it, it disappeared.
