He says it is so called because you cannot hear it coming, although you can hear the panting of the people inside. Both the four horses pulling the coach and the two men driving them are headless. Riding inside the coach is a p\u00faca &mdash; the most malevolent of the several types of fairies described by Joe &mdash; who keeps his head under his arm. The p\u00faca holds a large bowl of blood on his hand. If he sees an open door he throws the blood in through it, causing everyone in the house to die within nine months. Joe tells us that this is why people shut their doors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p>Joe related this folklore with minor variations in other tellings.
