A Story
“There was a man coming from Athenry one night very late.”
There was a man coming from Athenry one night very late. As he was coming at a certain part of the road a man sat on the car with him. After a while the stranger disappeared and the next place he saw him again was on the top of a wall in the shape of a dog. He came to a certain cross-roads and there the stranger turned, the driver was drunk and the spirit who followed him was Satan.
