“Years ago people were playing cards in a neighbour's house.”
Years ago people were playing cards in a neighbour's house. It was about two o'clock in the night and every time when they were giving out the cards they used to have a hand too many. One of the men went out and he saw a big black ugly man standing beside him. The man that went out came in after a time and he was frightened looking. The people inside knew he had seen something. The man got a weakness, and when he recovered he told them what he had seen some of the people went out and they were never seen or heard of again. - Collector
