  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    Many years ago a number of men were coming along a country road. They were talking happily when suddenly one of them stopped and asked the cause of that dog having fire in his eyes The others asked "what dog" (?) they could see no dog He went on seeing the dog untill he fainted.
    His friends carried him into a cottage where he came to himself. That night he fell very ill and within a week he was dead and buried.
