  1. One time there was a man, and one night when he was in bed his wife said to him I forgot to shut the door of the hens house. He got up put on some clothes and went out tho shut the door while he was doing so he heard a noise. He looked round and saw a woman dressed in white but She dissappeared through a wall. He went out into the garden and met a lady in white. He asked her did she see a woman dressed in white but instead of answering him she dissappeared too. He thought it might be some-one out of the house he went in but they were all asleep. Next day he heard his cousin was dead.
