The Pooka
CBÉ 0377
used to tell us when we were children, about the night the Puca brought his father for a ride.
His father was away in Ennis on a November Night, riding on horse-back. When he came home he removed the saddle from the horse. It was rather late at night, and he went to let the horse out in the fields.
He was just coming out a gap when he saw the animal coming towards him. It was like a horse and black in colour.
Himself and the animal met at the gap, and all of a sudden he found himself on the animal's back. He tried to get off, but all his efforts were of no avail. Then he knew that he was on the Pooka's back. Away with the Pooka across the country. Away with him over
