  1. (continued from previous page)
    about five years he heard that there were two rifles hidden in the old chapel but he was afraid to go up and look for them, since the last day he saw the hunt. But one night he got courage and he went up, and he had just found the rifles when he saw a big tall man with a black overcoat and a hat, and the collar of the coat up around his face.
    He knew very well that it was a ghost. Suddenly the ghost pointed at him and two shots were fired and the man fell dying on the ground.
