  2. Fairy Animals
    One night long ago Thomas o'Dwyer went to a fair in Dungarvan. He left his own house in a donkey and cart at 3 o'clock. When he was leaving Colligan a big dog came out over the ditch and went under the car and stayed there 'til he was about 100 yards from the town. He then came out from under the car and walked back in the direction of Colligan again. The dog was never seen again.
