Ghost Story
In the parish of Drom, there was a man who was very fond of card-playing and all his people could do would not keep him from playing cards at night.
One night he went to play for a big bet in a house in the neighbourhood. On his path, there was a style which he had to cross. There was a big pit by the side of the style and when the man looked down, he saw another man sitting at a table in the centre of the pit with a pack of cards. He called the man to come down and have a game. He said he wouldn't as he was going to play
