    There was a man who did not believe in ghosts. He was one night coming home from his caley by a grave yard. He looked behind him and saw a black form coming whirling, tumbling and twisting behind him. He started to run and he used to look around new and again. Once he was looking around when he tripped across a stone and fell. The form came up on his back and began to thorn him. He put around his hand and what was it but a big whin bush that the wind had blowing down the road.
