- One night two people were standing at a certain gate. They heard the gate opening and looking around they saw nothing and after a while they saw a white woman crossing the ditch the opposite side of the gate. She crossed the flied over to a bush that is haunted over on the hills.
People saw this woman come through the fields nights before. She appears from an old old bunch of bushes that stand on the top of a hill. These two people I suppose were in her way and that is why she gave a knock to the gate as a warning to the people to get out of her way.
