- There was once a man who was coming home from in the village when he saw a ghost. He was afraid so he stood on the road for a minute. It was like a big tall man and he said "You are not to go by this without getting a pin that was lost four thousand years". The man was getting more afraid and he said he would get it some other time. The ghost said that will do, but you are to get the pin. After six years the ghost asked the man if he ever got the pin. The man said no and he was changed into a big stone.
