Once there lived a man in a place called Knock. Is is not far from Coolrain. One night this man was coming home to his house from rambling. He felt something like a dog brushing up against his legs. He put down his hand to see could he feel it but he could feel nothing. But still he felt something brushing up against him. When he was going through a little gate near his house he lighted a match. He saw a big black dog. In a few minutes the dog disappeared and he could see it no more. - Collector
