- (continued from previous page)were passing that way one night and they met her. She stopped them and asked them for a drive. When she went into the car the horse could not pull her.
Then she tried to kill one of the men. He got angry and he tried to push her pout of the car and he succeeded but still she followed them. The horse was not able to walk with the weight.
At last they reached home. There was the ruins of an old castle in the yard, and when they were putting the horse into the stable, Petticoat Loose was standing on the wall of the castle and she threw a big stone at them, but she did not hurt anybody.
Then they all went to bed. In the morning when they woke they went out to see the horse, but they found she was dead, and their mother was dead also. In the castle the stone is yet to be seen.
