  1. A Haunted House

    Share Share Post
    Not far from Navn is a gentleman's residence. At the main-road gates of this house a man may be seen at midnight. The gates are left open each night but in the morning they are closed. At the dark hour of midnight this man, arrayed in white shining garments, astride a white horse, jumps the gates. If they are open immediately the horse runs for them, they close. Many people have tried to open those gates but they cannot before dawn. As no one may be seen closing the gates it remains a mystery, and as many others like it, will remain so, until its solution in Eternity.
