The Dullahan |
|
The Dullahan appeared as a headless rider on a black carriage which was pulled by a number of black headless horses.
It usually appeared as an omen of death to one of the more prosperous families in the region.
Normally it had no sound as it passed by on the road, which was usually how one determined it was of an otherworldly character.
