Oh, good, boys and girls, you've joined my FLOCK OF FEAR here inside my CASTLE ha-ha.  Come in and listen to a tale of a second CASTLE over in Ireland, that's haunted by something they simply call...

Over in the village of Coolderry, Ireland, a young lady was carrying a lit-candle down a corridor of Leap Castle one night back in 1909.  She turned to walk up a second corridor when she saw a dark shape of a sheep run from the opposite end of the second corridor down it towarda her, forcing her to stop and gasp.  The shadowy-shape of the shape let out a horrendous high-pitched screech, and the lady turned, rushing as quick as she could up the first corridor.  She made it into a bedroom at the end of the corridor and looked out, into it.  The shadowy-shape of the sheep was racing up the corridor to her and within the lights of the candles along each side of the corridor, the thing was  indeed like a sheep, with white and grey wool, having a human-like face with the eyes and nose being black holes, and when the monster screeched once more, its face resembled a pale blue-colored human-skull with sheep horns protruding out of it.  The young lady screamed and slammed the door shut, latching it.  "Annabel, what are ye doing awake at this hour me darling?" a young man asked her, sitting up in the bed.  "Oh, Edwin, I witnessed something horrifying out, in the corridors dear" Annabel responded to him.  Edwin got out of bed, unlatched the door and opened it.  He peered out, into the corridor and the sheep-like monster was gone.  The following evening, Annabel was reading "POEMS BY EDGAR ALLAN POE" as she sat in a chair within the bedroom.  Suddenly, she heard the running of an animal out, in the corridor of the castle.

Annabel got up, opened the door and looked out.  The sound of the running animal came up the corridor and within the light of the candles, the sounds came from the sheep-like monster.  Annabel gasped and the sheep-like thing let out a high-pitched screech.  Annabel screamed, slammed the door shut and latched it.  She unlatched the door, opened it and gasped in surprise at Edwin.  "Aye, I apologize darling.  It is only I now" Edwin said to her and kissed her lips.  "Oh, come on in dear" Annabel said, he did, and he closed the door behind him.  "It is quite charming here in this castle to be guests eh, Annabel?" Edwin said to her, asking.  "Why, yes, indeed" she said, agreeing and sat back down in the chair and then started reading her book again.  Edwin got a pistol out of his coat-pocket quietly and said to Annabel: "I shall return me Wife.  I wish to speak with the Darby's!".  "Aye, alright me Husband" she said in reply  and Edwin walked out of the bedroom.  He walked to the entrance to a parlor.  Edwin whispered: "aye, alright Mr. and Mrs. Darby, ye shall be shot to death, and I shall inherit ye castle here".  He pointed his pistol into the parlor and suddenly the sheep-like monster ran up to him from within a dark hallway.  It screeched at Edwin and attacked him, gnawing on his neck and throat with its human-skull-like mouth.  Edwin fell into the dark hall, choking and dropped his gun.  The sheep-like monster tore at his throat and screeched eerily.  The sounds of flesh ripping was heard within the darkness and Edwin's shaking feet that poked out of the shadows stopped moving.  The gray and white form of the monster-sheep with the pale-blue-human-skull-like face screeched in its high-tone and gnawed on the throat of Edwin's corpse.  Several hours later, a maid carrying a lit-candle, passed the parlor, and into the darkened-hall.  She shined the candle on the sheep-like monster that was feasting on the skull of Edwin's now skeletal-corpse.  The maid let out a horrified-scream, the thing screeched at her and ran off around a corner.  "IT!  IT!  IT!  I SAW IT!" the maid said, screaming, turning around and passing the parlor.

Well, with that monster always running around that CASTLE there, no one could SHEEP TRACK OF IT aha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!  Poor Edwin tried to take a SHOT AT IT, but IT had to GRAB A QUICK BITE WITH HIM.  At least he did not have to GO ON THE LAMB in the end eh?  Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee-Hee!
