There was an old kiln where a ghost was said to be seen and no lone person would venture to pass there late at night.On approaching near the kiln he saw something in the shape of a dog coming from the eye of the kiln on the road against him. His two eyes were like balls of fire and the man thought there was light issuing from his ears, eyes and nose. The dog jumped on to the road in front of the mare.
