- There was a woman there long ago and she had a husband who used be out late. He used come home a short-cut and a part of it was going through a graveyard. This day there was a grave made near his path and his wife got a neighbour to go into the grave to frighten him. The neighbour dressed in white and went into the grave and when the man came along he said "I cant rest," "I can't rest. The man stopped and said " how can you rest and you not covered". Then he caught a shovel that was near and began throwing in the earth. Then the man jumped out and went home.
