    One night a woman named Mrs. Killion was going home from her cousin's house she got a great shock. It was about eleven o'clock and she had to go through a wood she thought that her skirt was caught in a little bush and she tried to pull it off the bush but she couldn't. She looked behind her and she saw a very tiny woman having hold of her skirt. This little woman was dressed in a shawl and had a bonnet on her head. Mrs. Killion knew that this was a ghost and she never stayed out late after that.
