  1. Once there was a man who was coming home from town drunk, on the path there was a fort. He was after crossing a river and he laid down in the fort to sleep, they say that when he woke his mouth was turned. Some more people say the house where he lived was haunted. One night he went to bed, he woke up in the night he heard a noise in the kitchen. he came from his bedroom and he opened the door and he got a slap and it turned his mouth.
