From Ireland comes one of the most terrifying and best authenticated tales of a ghostly animal.

Known as The Black Cat of Killakee, the phantom feline is said to haunt the bleak mountains overlooking Dublin.

Reported sightings go back almost three hundred years.

One eyewitness, an Irish artist, painted a picture of what HE saw, a terrifying cat with red eyes.

The cat even has links to the Dublin branch of the Hell Fire Club, an association of arrogant, vicious young 'bucks' said to be in league with the devil. Animal X went to investigate.
