   In this village there is a Phantom motor - car to be seen. It usually appears about six months before any person of the village dies.
   it is a very big motor car about as big as a great big Ford. There two big lights in front of it and two small little lamps. There is one taillight. When it is moving it makes no noise and it keeps abut thirty yards away from you. It comes from the bog beside the village or sometimes from the main road.
   Marginal note: This car has been seen by almost every person in the village of Rockfield.
