“A man was coming from a friend's house one Hallow Eve night,...”
A man was coming from a friend's house on Hallow Eve night, and when when he was nearing a cross-road he saw a little, light like a light of a match. He did not pass much remarks till he saw it grow bigger and bigger. He walked towards the light and saw a bed and a dead person in it. Three lights were lit and there was a crowd of people round the bed. He was frightened, but he knew the dead person's face well, and before a week the person whom he saw in the bed was dead.
