    There was a woman there long ago and she used to go to bed very late at night along time after the rest of the family.
    This night she was up later than usual a knock came to the door she went to open it there was no body there the knock came a second time the woman went to answer it again but could see nobody.
    The knock came the third time the woman was getting afraid and did not answer it at all but went to bed as quickly as she could.
