One night a man came playing cards. After awhile he heard noise going on outside. He got up and he went out to see, what was going on. After awhile he saw a woman making noise at the barn. He went inside and he asked the people if the woman of the house was outside. Her son said she went to bed about an hour ago.
The night after the same noise was heard again the people came out of the house to see the woman. Someone in the company said that woman died about three years ago. The woman was never heard or seen in the district again.
