- One night James Grady was going home from Knocktopher after playing a few games of card's. He did not like to go home because it was twelve Oclock and he knew that it was the dead hour of the night. On his way he had to pass a lane that was haunted. As he was passing he heard a terrible noise and he stepped into the lane to see what it was. He saw six headless figures dancing. He ran back to Knocktopher and a few man went to his house with him.
