The Doctor said if she let off the bucket where she fell, she would be all right. She went home, after a while she died. she was buried, her husband was very lonely after her. One day he went into the room, and he saw her inside combing her hair. She was a lovely looking woman. The man got frightened, he ran out, when he came again. she was gone.
