    man and the man was running home as fast as he could and the strange man called the other man and said to him "why didnt thou run" and the man was about to die of fright when the strange man said "dont be discouraged because you shall see me often again." The man went home and died and it is said that the night of the wake the strange man was in the bed with the dead man beside him.
