Strange animals 20: 5: 1938
There were boys fishing near Lough Graney one Sunday evening and they saw a calf grazing near the lake with five boys and they were frightened and they went home.
The say there is a fish in Lough Graney and he has hair on his back and he comes out of the lake grazing.
There is a lake in Acres and there is a crock and a lily in it and if any one tried to catch it, it would swim away.
A boat and a lady used be seen fishing in Lough Graney
