  1. About twenty years ago a man named James Byrne was working in our house. One night he heard a noise in one of the rooms, he was in the house alone. The noise continued for a long time, and he left the house.
    My father was in the forge, and he met him down the road, and he told him the story. When he went home he went to the room, and opened the door, and found a small white dog in the room, and he running around and couldn't get out of it and he let him out.
