  1. I heard of an old woman who used to visit her neighbours house every night in the Winter. Every night when she used to be coming home she used to be frightened.
    She used to hear chains ringing as if a goat was with her legs tied. She went over to the hedge and saw a goat with horns 2 feet long.
    The noise was heard for a long time afterwards.
