  1. Pig Following a Man

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a man out visiting late at night. When he was coming home at the Hang-mans -bridge a pig came out of the river and followed him to a stream in breggandtriagh and disappeared and the man went home safely.
    I heard this story from
