  1. 11 The Water Horse. (Cash Uisghe.) [?]
    The old people say they often saw a water horse out grazing in Paddy Devine's 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 into the water with his breath. He is like a small pony.
