    “Some time ago my Grandfather was going to the fair in Chair.”

    Share Share Post
    Some time ago my Grandfather was going to the fair in Chair. At that time they had no clocks and he thought it was time to go so he got up and started off. He was not gone far when he saw a strange animal like a great big black dog. This animal which he found out after was not right at all followed him as far as the Mountain Lodge where he disappeared. He was two early for the fair and he knew then that the animal had been following him from about 12 oclock. He was very much afraid.
