   About two years ago there was a man coming off his ceilidhe at night. He had to pass by the little bridge in Annaghmore. When he passed the little bridge and came to the turn of the road a little black dog ran out on the road before him. He had a stick in his hand and he struck the dog. When he struck him he changed to a different colour and followed the man. He struck him again and he changed to another colour. He pursued him part of the road and then made a dash into the hedge and the man did not see him more.
