  1. (continued from previous page)
    Grandmother got one of the cats and she could not be killed and everyone that used to die she used to go to them and twine herself round their necks so she was shot 14 times but could not be killed. At last she was buried alive and for weeks she could be heard crying under-neath the ground.
