  1. There are a lot of stories about unnatural animals.
    About a year ago there were three men coming up the road on bycycles just below my house in Caherclancy. When they were just up to the little hill an animal in the shape of a black donkey crossed the road and knocked one of them off the bycycle and then disappeared again.
