Hydrophobia (cta from page 84)
If a dog bites a person, the dog must be destroyed. Otherwise the person has little chance of recovery. & should the dog ever go mad, the person bitten would necessarily go mad, also. Such is the belief.
When we were children we were in morshal dread of "the headless horseman" and of "the dead coach".
True story from Aghode: a young stepped outside her own door. The coach passed and she was never seen again' ..Explanation given by some of the same members of the community: the wheels of the car were stood with rubber and the horses likewise. Therefore no noise. The driver saw unclear & drove through the front window. They were body snatchers for the young doctors to practise on "up" in Dublin.
