    There is a field near by my house in which the people say that it is supposed to be haunted. But still nobody ever beleived it. One night as Tom Tyghe was coming from a céily, as he was passing through the field he heard something crying in the bushes. He stopped and listened as he did so it started to sing. He was terible frightened and he never went that way again.
