- The Black Dog
The dog on another occassion appeared to two small boys. It happened like this.
These two boys were throwing stones from the road into the school yard. Suddenly a huge black dog appeared in the school yard and jumped up the wall and made for one of the boys.

The next morning the boy who the dog had run at was found dead in his bed. - Transcription guide » You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
