  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Tweet
    One night a man was coming home from rambling. When he came near a lake a black man came out from it and walked along with him and never spoke. Suddenly he disappeared.
    Then the other man got afraid and he ran into a house near by.
    He told the people of the house about what he had seen and they said when that ghost appeared the person who saw it was supposed to die within a fortnight.
    The poor man made his way home and he was dead inside the fortnight.
    All the neighbours
