  1. In the middle of the bog road, there are the walls of an old house. and there are supposed to be strange things seen in it.
    One night there was a man passing upon the road, and he saw a strange - looking being standing in the middle of it.
    The man was very much frightened when he saw this strange being standing in it. He thought it was a man, but when he went inside the walls of the house he found there was nothing in it only a big goat.
