  1. Folklore - Strange Animals

    Share Share Post
    One night as my father was coming home from work, he met a dog as big as a calf. The dog was a black one like the devil. My father blessed himself and he disappeared at once.
    Mr Fennell saw a dog and he threw stones at him and the dog followed him home.
