    One night this man stayed very late Card-playing in a neighbour's house.
    On his way home he met a dog and he felt rather nervous, However he carried on but had not gone far when he met a coffin and three men shouldering it - two in front & one at the back.
    The coffin fell on the road and the lid opened A young girl rose up and got out of it. The man recognised her as his daughter who had died a short time before.
