  1. Once I heard a story about a man who could not find his way home. He was after visiting and he left for home about twelve o'clock. He came to the field which he had to go through to reach his house and he went into it. When he was half way across he felt a change come over him and he could not find the gap that led to the house. He was wandering around for about three hours and he got back his sences and that gave him a good fright. People say he was among the good people.
