    “One moonlight night when a woman was asleep, she heard chains rattling.”

    Share Share Post
    One moonlight night when a woman was asleep, she heard chains rattling. She got out of her bed and looked out through her bedroom window; she saw a white object at the gate.
    One of the men went out to see what it was.
    It was a white horse and every night when the gate was open he used to get in the hayshed and eat the hay.
    The woman thought it was a ghost.
