- (continued from previous page)this man arrived he was put to sleep in this room where the girl had seen the dog. At about eleven o clock the man heard noise coming up (ols) along the stairs. When it came to the door, the door opened and it comes the same black dog again and into the same corner. The mad did not mind because he was a man that was never afraid.
After a while the dog started to growl and at twelve o clock a light came into the room. The man did not (n)o know where the light came from but that very minute the dog jumped out through the door, but the door never opened. After the dog was gone the man heard noise going down the stairs and he though there was a hundred cattle coming up the stairs. The people who heard of this dog say it was the devil.Written by Mary Ryan, Beechwood, Nenagh.
