“A place in Flay Lane there was a Club house every Sunday night people used to go to play cards.”
"A place in Flay Lane there was a Club house every Sunday night people used to go to play cards.
"They used to be alway cursing and swearing and doing other bad things. This night the candle went out and they said to one another. "What will we do now." Some one out side handed a candle in the window.
"After a while a stranger came in and called for a hand at cards so they gave him a hand.
"One man let one of his cards fall on the ground and when he went to lift his card off the ground he saw that the stranger had a club foot. So they all ran for their lives out of the place and never came back to it again"
