On a certain road in this district people used to see crowds of horse-men dressed in green uniforms riding horses up and down this road at twelve o'clock each night. Trains were also heard and the used to be lit up with various coloured-lights at the same night and at the same hour, and they used to pass by a graveyard and stop and dissapear at a certain gate.
