    was the man of the house that was out working and that he had a light with him.
    So he went into the garden and when he went to the place the light disappeared.
    The man went out of the garden and when he was on the road he saw the light again.
    He was afraid and went his way home. There was never a light seen there afterwards.
    The owner of the garden now is John Hopkins, Lanemore, Brickens
