1. Black Dog

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Down near Carrigbyrne a big black dog used be seen every night at the same hour. There was an ould man living there and he used see him every night. The ould man thought that it was some dog prowling around looking to kill sheep or ate eggs or kill fowl, so he decided this night that he'd shoot him. This night he hid inside his own barn door with a gun ready. 'Twasn't long 'til the dog came into the yard. He raised the gun to fire, but his two hands fell helpless to his side, and the gun fell on the ground. In that instant the dog disappeared. The man always believed after that that it was the devil was in it.

   I always heard that you should never interfere with anything that doesn't interfere with you, especially in the nighttime.
