  1. There is an old graveyard in Mr. Goods land where unbaptised children were buried. A strange story is told of this graveyard. One morning my father was ploughing this field and a lot of white mice appeared in the furrow in which he was ploughing and the horses could not stir another step. That field was never tilled afterwards.
