  1. Strange Appearances

    Share Share Post
    In olden times, strange animals and other figures were often seen or heard in this locality. At the present time these apparitions are rarely seen. the seldom time that they appear, no one seems to be upset about them, knowing them to have been seen for many years past.
    A black dog appears at the residence of Patrick Kelly, Barnane, Templemore. This dog was banished for a period of seven years, by Fr O'Connor, Templemore, but it returned again. Mr Kelly's house is built on a Mass-path used by Woodcock Carden, and this is believed to be the reason why the dog appears. This animal is supposed to live in a channel, beside a lake on the famous Carden estate.
