- A strange animal is to be seen walking around the old lake in front of Arch Hall castle. It appears at about eleven o'clock every night, and it takes the form of a cat.
It has a big head and a thin body and it has a bushy tail. It is said to be guarding some great treasure, and if it sees anybody it disappears. A man named John Gibbons saw this animal. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
