    Share Share Post
    I heard of a man one time who was coming home very late one night. His name was John Sheehan of Curragh Chase, he lives now near Adare. Just as he was coming along by Gorman's turn near the bounds of Curragh, He saw something lying at the side of the road. He got off his bicycle, and went over to see what it was A big black dog stood up with balls of fire coming out of its eyes. The man got a terrible fright and ran home and left his bicycle after him.
