- (continued from previous page)There was a man named Anthony Mc Nulty Rooskey Foxford Co Mayo and he had a dog called Jacko. He was a very good dog and would not let anyone go near the gate after the light in the house was blown out. One night he came to the door and started scratching at the door. The man of the house let him in to see what was wrong with him. As soon as he was let in he ran back under the bed. The man got a light and looked under to see what was wrong with him. He saw him lying on the floor with a hole in his chest that the man could put his fist into. He took his gun and went out to see what caused it and he saw two big dogs as big as good sized calves going up the road. He fired a shot at them and they disappeared. He heard it afterwards that it was the Bolstra.
