  1. One night a man was cycling home from his work. As he passed by an iron-gate, a ghost ran out from the gate, and knocked the man off bicycle. The man got afraid, and he ran home with his bicycle. The ghost was dressed in white, he had a white coat, and a white hat, and white shoes. Every night he used to be at the gate, and when anyone would be going by he would run out after them.
