    Ghost Story
    Once upon a time there were three men driving sheep through Glangevlin at night. About twelve o'clock they decided to rest. One of the men formed a circle on the ground with a piece of stick and in the centre of it made a cross. They saw a light in the distnace and as it came nearer they that it was a white hare pursued by two black hounds with flame coming out of their mouths. The hare leaped into the circle and a light went up into the sky and the hounds disappeared immediately.
