  1. There was a man once going visiting to a cousin's house. He had a long way to go and he had to go along the road, when suddenly he came to a dark place. He got afraid. A big black dog, and three others came out on the road. The man asked the dogs who they were. The dogs said "We are Denis Brown and his three hang men." The dogs had chains on them. the man went to this cousin's house and did not come home until morning.
