  1. Strange Animals

    Share Share Post
    Mick Mac Caffrey Altanure went to a small lake on Commas Mountain to fish. It was very early before sunrise and as he was fishing he saw a strange animal like a horse coming swiming towards. He was very frightened and returned home at once.
    (This was about 40 years ago).
    Hugh Maguire, Gubrawoolly went to hunt to Commas Mountain about 60 years ago. He had two dogs with him and they soon saw a white hare. They chased the hare for some distance when suddenly the hare turned around, attacked the dogs and chased them back down the mountain.
