    I'm looking for some like minded people to go hunting for elves this comming saturday in Donerail park about 3am. Ill have the honey all you need is the measuring stick to defend yourself. If it proves unsucessful like two weeks ago(get well soon Giles), make sure to bring a change of socks and mittins. It can get quiet chilly.

    Oh well, after a galant battle this morning, three fellow elve hunters and myself left Donerail park very unsatisfied. Not a creature in site, we got excited alright about 3am this morning when we saw a white creature emerge from a thicket of rushes only to be dismayed at a advancing swan.Oh well.

    :DMaybe they dislike appearing to people who mis-spelll Doneraile.:D

    Anyhow, everyone knows that Doneraile Court is haunted and elves don't like ghosts.

    What do you do with the elves if you catch them? I hope you're not intending to have your wicked way with the poor little fellas!

    The ghost of the Lord Doneraile who contracted rabies and was smothered to save family honour is said to haunt the house.

    It was said that auld Nick as a visitor to the house and travelled by headless coach and some nights you can still see gates fly open and the coach emerge.

    The widow's curse was on the same Doneraile who died from rabies.
    It was the "that you may die roaring" type of a curse,

    "Reflected in the mirror of the sideboard was a full length portrait of the black-bearded 4th. Viscount Doneraile, resting an arm on his horse. He was one of the great Victorian hunting men, and his end was ironic and macabre. He kept a pet fox which was housed near the gate at the side of the court. The fox became rabid and bit its master. The Viscount contracted rabies and was smothered with pillows by the housemaids to spare him suffering and prevent him spreadind the disease to others."
