- (continued from previous page)They came to a stream of water and they threw two medals into it, and when they did the dogs disappeared and they did not see them after.
- One night two men from the village of Mosafort (Caherlistrane)were coming home from the fair of Headford. Hen they were passing the graveyard at Donaghanpatrick, a black pig lied across the road before them. They hit the pig with the stick, but it did not stir. They blessed themselves three times and it disappeared. When they were near Michale Kennedy's (Oldtore) a woman was there before them and she asked them why did they hit her. They said that they did not but that it was a black pig they hit. The pig kept after the men until they came to McHugh's a little farther on. I disappeared then and they did not see it after that.
