- One night I was out the road walking and before I came to the barn I saw a man coming out of the ditch.
When I passed he stood and looked after me. When I saw this I was frightened and I started to run and he ran after me. When I got to my own gate I was glad and I went into the house quickly and closed the door after me.
When I went into the kitchen to look out of the window he was standing looking in at me. I waited for a while and then he disappeared.
