  1. There is an old house near my home. The people who were living in it died of cholera and they were burned at the back of our rocks. A man went to rise the stones off the grave as he required then to build a house. My grand father told him not to go near the grave and he began to laugh. He put down his iron bar to rise the stones and as soon as he did it went in two halves. So no one touched the stones since.
