  1. Denis Brown and His Hangmen

    Share Share Post
    There was once a man going to his neighbour's house visiting, when he came to a dark spote on the road. He got afraid of it when suddenly a big black dog and three others came out on the road. He asked them who they were and they said that they were Denis Brown, and his hang men. He saw chains on them, and he was afraid after that.
