  1. (continued from previous page)
    going from the coher to the road, which is about a half mile away from it, but the people never went into it.
    There are a lot of holes covered in with stones in the inside of it and they were often opened by the people. The coher is about thirty feet high and there is a hole at the top of it like a chimney. The people say that there were lights often seen there by night but they never distinguished what they were.
