- There were three men coming home from town and they were drunk. They came to cross roads They were carried away into a lonely valley. Ghosts asked them if they believe in God and the men said they did. The ghosts told them to stay there. That night they stayed and next morning they awoke and wanted to go home. The ghost said if they want to go home that he would have their lives. He told them to sit down and eat. When they did so they fell down dead.
