  1. There was once a man (was) coming from a visiting house and when he was about a mile from home he thought he heard a motor car coming behind him.
    He kept on the side of the round and the car came in also.
    The man jumped up on the ditch and the car was coming up also and the man jumped into the field.
    The car shut off the lights and something black and white fell from it and the car disappeared.
