  1. The Lough House Ghost

    Share Share Tweet
    One night a man was coming through Barnesmore Gap from rambling.
    A big brown dog jumped out before him and walked beside him.
    At first the man wasn’t afraid but suddenly the dog stood out before him and looked at him out of two very big red eyes.
    The man then got afraid as he knew it was no ordinary dog, and he started to run but the dog ran too.
    Then he got tired and stopped and the dog stopped.
    He joined to run again and the dog ran and when they came to the Lough House the dog disappeared into the Lough.
