  1. Strange Animals

    Share Share Post
    A story is told about a big black dog that appeared on the bridge in Askamore, not far from Askamore Church, in the Parish of Kilrush, Co. Wexford.
    One night a woman was going home and when she was crossing the bridge at Askamore she saw this black dog walking beside her. He walked along with her as far as the Church, then she found that she had lost her cloak. She turned back to look for it, she saw the dog standing on it, and she took it from under him. He disappeared then and she never saw him again.
