- Once there was a man and he used to work at night time. It was the harvest time of the year and this night he was out stacking oats in a field, and he saw a white woman about a quarter of a mile away from him. He never minded, he said it was people down in the well for water. He stacked away and the next place he saw it was in the field upon a stack of oats. He went over to see what it was and it was a white woman and he went in and never worked at night any more.
