- One night about twelve o'clock a girl was coming from visiting. She was just coming across the field South of our house when a thing in the shape of a pig rolled down before her. She thought it was a rock or something else. It began grunting and she ran fast. Every moment she thought it was after her. She went home then but she was very nervous all the time coming home. It was never seen after that by anyone but the lights were seen in that field often. Everybody is afraid crossing that field at night.
