- There was once a crowd of lads stopping in a house it was on "All Souls Night".
There was one lad and all the others said that he was afraid to go and get into a grave that was opened for a man the next day. The lad said "I am not afraid"
So he went to the grave and got into it.
He was not long in it until he heard someone saying it is very cold. He jumped out of the grave and ran home for his life
When he went in he fainted on the floor.
What was the spirit only one of his companions who had got into the grave and he frightened the poor brave lad. So this was the end of his bravery.
