Are we forgetting that the dullahan has a horse? Imagine seeing just a strikingly black horse with red eyes out in the middle of the woods and then realizing that he has a rider that has no head. I don't know about you but at least I know to avoid strange horses out in the wild, but a horse that has a rider? With no head? That is said to be the interpretation of death? Yeah you're pretty dead and there's no escaping. On a side note kelpies are pretty awesome. I had a Bella Sera card that was a zebra kelpie. I miss that card, I lost it somewhere along the way.
