- One night a man was coming towards a graveyard. He heard voices as if some men were approaching. He stood to listen and suddenly he heard a great noise as if the tombstones were falling and if a lot of men were in a confusion. He knew the men were talking were dead men. He went on a little farther and he was going to look into the graveyard when the noise and confusion stopped as suddenly as it started. The man went home. He arrived home about 12 ock. He went to bed and the next day he felt very sick. He never passed by that graveyard late after that.
