  1. Strange Animals

    Share Share Post
    There are some stories told in connection with strange animals in Nantenan district. One night as a man was passing Nantenan gate, he saw a huntsman with a number of huge dogs hunting a red fox. The man ran as fast as he could, but they passed him before he reached his house. When he went to bed that night he dreamt that he went out on the following night and the hounds caught him and tore his clothes off him.
