    He went out, but could not see anybody. He went into the house again, and shortly he heard his name called. He went out again, but could see no person. The same thing happened a third time. Three times he heard his name called, and three times he went out; but could see nobody.
    He could not "bear the suspense" any longer. He ran away declaring that he would never enter the house again. And he kept his word.
    It is believed that the house is haunted.
