  1. One night a man was out late in a corpse house. He did not see his comrades going out of the house. A short time after he left the house he was passing a very lonely spot and he saw three men carrying a coffin. They told him to help them to carry the coffin. He did as he was told and they carried the coffin till daylight then the coffin and the men disappeared.
