    (continued from previous page)
    His wife was busy getting the tea inside when she heard the phantom hounds in full cry. She tried to pray but she couldn't. She went outside to tell the old man to come in for his tea, but he had vanished. Then the woman took sick and was sick for a long time. In the following Summer she had a startling experience.
    The old man came and stood some short distance away. She moved towards him he was alright but he would never be home again. She was advised to leave the house which she did. This story is a very old one, and was often told in the neighbourhood.
