Walter Watkins, of Neuath, in the  Parish of Landdetty, in the County of Brecon,  being at school at Carmarthen, and as he and some  other scholars who lodged in the same house with  him were playing ball by the house, late in the  evening, heard the dismal mournful noise of the  Kyhyrraeth [fairy dogs], very near them; but could see nothing,  which was very shocking to hear: though these sort  of men are incredulous enough, yet they were soon  persuaded that it was the voice of neither man nor beast, but of some Spirit, which made them leave  their play and run into the house, Not long after,  a man who lived near the house died. This kind of  noise is always heard before some person’s death.
