I was flicking through Graham J McEwan’s book Mystery Animals of Britain and Ireland which covers all the usual suspects like Nessie, Black Dogs and ABCs when I came across a section which covers even more bizarre creatures. The one which really caught my attention was the "Horse-Man of County Louth".
One night in 1966 a couple driving past Lord Dillon's estate near Drogheda encountered a huge beastie which they described as having a horse’s body and a man’s head with a huge hairy leering face and “horrible bulging eyes”. The couple were terrified by the animal - well you bloody would be wouldn't you?
Unfortunately that’s about all the detail you get in the book. I think this is in the realms of the paranormal rather than cryptozoology. Does anyone know any more about this? Has it been seen again? And if the witnesses were pissed what in gods name had they been drinking?
