- (continued from previous page)beings with whom he had been merrymaking.
- Many years ago there lived a woman all alone. All her relations had died some time previously so she felt very lonesome with nobody to talk to. One day she went to the city to buy provisions. It was a very long journey so it was well after nightfall when she neared her destination. She saw a light and heard great noise as of people talking. As she drew near, all the lights vanished, and not a sound could be heard in the vicinity. As she was going in the door a ghost clad in white garments passed her out. The woman became terrified, so she ran to a neighbour's house and asked leave to sleep there for that night.
