“Once upon a time there grew a lone bush...”
Once upon a time there grew a lone bush beside the railway. there were men working on the railway one day and the ganger asked them to cut the bush. The men would not and the Ganger said that her would give two pounds to the one that would cut it. Two brothers lived in a house nearby and they said that they would cut the tree.
The next day one of them cut the tree and that night he died and the tree was there the next day again. Then the other brother put a large fire around that tree and burned it and he died as well. It is said that their is a ghost there ever since.
