1st September 2004
After the close encounter at Gaulstown, the upthedeise crew were very wary about chasing the creature known as Mullanimal again. After much deliberation it was decided to start on the trail again for the sake of the people of the Déise. The same technique was used as last time (i.e. flour and luncheon sausage trail as well as local reports). We were led to the beautiful Mahon Falls in the Comeragh Mountains of all the places in Waterford.
The following item of evidence was found at the site...

Exhibit A - An unattended red lead blaa, found at the Mahon Falls
The team set up the motion sensor cameras and other recording equipment, and the following startling footage was found near the entrance to the mahon falls.

Mullanimal sitting in a tree (known as "The Magic Tree" by the entrance of the Mahon falls eating a read
lead blaa...
A strange noise was heard on tape while mullanimal was nearing the end of the blaa, it sounded like someone flatulating or breaking wind though somehow fluffier (see video footage below)... anyway, immediately after the noise, our cameras malfunctioned, but they came on-line again soon afterward only to discover that Mullanimal had jumped off the tree and into his car (yeah, he has one now!!!)...

Mullanimal in his vehichle...
Now this is the strange part, Mullanimal then turned off the engine, took off the handbrake and to our amazement, the car started rolling UP the hill instead of down it (see video footage below)!!! We can only surmise that Mullanima's fart has changed the laws of physics in the area and thus gravity now works in reverse at the location! His powers must be rejuvenating as it would take many lifetimes of eating luncheon sausage to generate enough energy to cause such a flux in the space time continuum though such a simple and extremely childish act...

Close up of Mullanimal reversing UP the hill...
We have put a small piece of video footage together to summarise what we
found...

The road leading into the mahon falls, as photographed above, is referred to as "the magic hill" and can be identified by the tree Mullanimal ate his blaa in. This tree is referred to as "the magic tree" for obvious reasons. The Up The Deise team waited carefully for Mullanimal to leave the area before attempting to retrieve their equipment after the previous experience, but alas he waited for us and gave one of the crew a nasty bite on the arse, for which he received a tetanus in the WRH.
The team repeated Mullanimal's actions as an experiment i.e.
And, low and behold, the car rolled up the hill to our amazement!!!
I would urge anyone with the interest to try this experiment as it is mind boggling to say the least!!! It is not a joke, it does work that I promise you as a Déise man. In fact, the effect is not localised to the magic tree, we repeated the experiment in several key areas with varying results. We at upthedeise would be very interested to hear other's experiences about this strange effect (let's call it "The Mullanimal Effect").
Obviously, Mullanimal's powers are returning to him, we must act fast and at least attempt to tame him...
Please, everyone, be vigilent, if you sight Mullanimal or hear about him or notice lots of flour, breadcrumbs or leftover luncheon, please post a message stating where and when to the Mullanimal forum, we are running a 24/7 operation and we have the right tools for the job...
Stay tuned, it may be your only hope of survival!!!
