  1. Story.
    There was once a very long time ago and Michael Brenna was coming home from a village and as he was coming along the road a big hand appeared out of the ditch and he was very much affraid. Then it went back in again. It was very dark. He had no one with him. Then he heard a lady coming and he could hear the silk [?] on her and she disappeared.
