    “Once upon a time, a man was on a visit to one of his friends.”

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time, a man was on a visit to one of his friends. On his way home he had to pass by Rynn Castle. When he was coming near it, he saw four black dogs running round it.
    He ran, and the dogs ran after him. When he was near his home in Mohill he met a man, and that man was the Parish Priest.
    The man told the Parish priest all that happened to him. In a few nights after that, the Parish Priest and the man went to Rynn Castle and saw the four dogs sitting all together. The man was beside the Parish priest. The man was talking to the Parish Priest, when he got three strokes on the shoulder.
