- Long ago a few men were coming home late. Just as they were passing this field they heard noise like steps inside the ditch. The men started to run and the same thing happened again. They were afraid to investigate to see what it was, but anyhow they didn't venture to pass there anymore.
One night not long ago afterwards they were speaking about it in this house and one man said he would see what it was. He went to the field where the ghost was supposed to be as he was walking outside the ditch he heard the steps. He looked in and saw an ass. They were very much surprised when they heard what the ghost was.
