  1. A Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    One night about fifty years ago my aunt was stopping in a house with Henderson's in Faheran. About eleven o'clock she went to bed. She was not there when she heard the door opening, everyone was getting frightened when in came a dark from which stood beside her bed for a minute and when it disappeared she heard chains rattling going down the stairs. She arose early next morning to find everything as she had left it.
