- One night a girl was coming from visiting. She was crossing a high steps outside which there was a drain. She was crossing the drain when she heard terrible rattling. She looked behind her and the thing rattled furiously. She went another bit and looked behind her again. This time a white thing jumped up on the wall and disappeared. The white thing was like a white stone to her. She never saw the fairy thing again although she passed that way afterwards.
