  1. There was a girl coming from a dance one night. It was about twelve o clock. She met a crowd of men and they told her that their house was beside where she was and to go in an wait till morning. Then they brought her in.
    When she went into the house there was a man there whom she knew had been dead for a year. He told her if they gave her tea not to drink it or she would be soon along with the dead. The men let her home before morning but she could not tell nobody where she had been.
