  1. Strange Animals

    Share Share Post
    One night as my father was coming home from Phillipstown, he saw a big animal like a dog coming up to him, it came down an old dark lane, he said it was as big as a horse. It went out in front of him and every side he went the thing tried to stop him. It is said a man was killed by a car there.
