    One day when a man was passing the graveyard not far from Taghmon...

    One day when a man was passing the graveyard not far from Taghmon, he heard a rattling in the grave of the man he had buried the day before. He went on but he had not gone far when he saw the spirit of the man he had buried the day before.
    The spirit said to him he was only half-dead when he buried him. The spirit said to him he would be buried half dead himself and he was.
