- Every night a woman went to meet her husband to an old womans house. The husband was drawing sand and he passed the old womans house.
One night he passed and she she did not see him. When she was going home later on with her son she met her dead sister. She said to her son not to pass the [?] because she could not see it when she said that the dead woman rubbed against her.
When she came home her husband was sitting at the fire and she told him what she had seen.
