Note to recorder:

Hello to you native speakers! I need someone to record the following text in English for my students (level A2 - intermediate level). Not too fast but still quite natural ;)
Thank you so much!!

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 many different appearances. But most of the time, a Puca is represent-ed 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, dishevelled hair. It is believed that people who can hear their screams will have an imminent death in their family. They usually live near cemeteries. Number1 The Dullahan. 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. Only one thing is known to frighten this creature: gold.
