    The Black Dog
    The black dog was said to be seen around Kilmallock not long ago. It is a phantom dog, and it is said that he was owned by some man near Kilmallock who hunted him away.
    After some time a farmhand who was passing near a dike discovered the remains of what was once a black dog. Since then people have often seen a black dog which vanished after a time. Hence he got the name of "The Black Dog".
