It was about three feet high and it was frothing out of the mouth. This kept tripping her for about ten yards and then at once it disappeared into the bushes.There is an old river in Drumdoo and there is a bridge. There was a big fish seen under the bridge. This fish had feathers on his head and had four legs. It was seen out on the rivers edge once. It was about three feet long and one and a half feet in breadth.One morning a man got up and he saw a big cat sitting on the window. This cat started getting bigger and bigger.
