    (continued from previous page)
    a man in Castle-Taylor who says he saw that black dog.
    There is said to be a cat, just outside Mantour's old house, in Shiels "Crez", minding gold. It is said the gold is a long time there now and nobody dares to dig there.
    One night a man was returning home at night from"cúairc". He looked behind him and saw a pig running after him. With fear he ran as quick, as he could. Then he looked back after he had ran a little, and the pig disappeared.
    Mike Shiel, 58 years.
