    Dead Coach
    One time two men were coming from a fair about two o'clock at night and when the came to the "Galley Bridge" the met a "Dead Coach" drawn by two horses and no light on it, nor no driver, and it on the left-hand side of the road. They were very much scared in passing as they thought they would not get by. Every night after the same coach passed at the same time and it never was known where it went to.
