Natural speed please.

Hello and welcome to Ghost Story online.
Last week you voted to nominate the three spookiest creatures in Ireland. So let's discover. who they are.
Number 3 is the Puca. This creature which is believed to live in the mountains and hills of Ireland is said to have different appearances. But most of the time, a Puca is represented as a black horse with fiery golden eyes. It is considered to bring both good and bad fortune. At times it is said to help farmers while at other times it leads them to destruction by lying and playing tricks on them.
Number 2 is the banshees. It is said that Banshees are terrifying and uncanny. They are often described as either ugly old ladies or beautiful young women with long disheveled hair. It is believed that people who can hear their screams will have an imminent death in their family. They usually live near cemeteries.
Number 1 is the Dullaham. This wild horseman is sometimes seen or heard galloping in the darkest nights. It is usually said to be a man who is carrying his own head under his arm
His mouth is often described as smiling hideously and his eyes are constantly moving. On his horse he uses a whip which is made of a human spine. It is believed that when he stops riding someone will soon die.
