The man went back to bed and the ghost disappeared and was never seen in the house after his body was removed.
The boys used to sleep in that house until some one told the owner of the house that the ghost had disappeared and there were eight boys staying in the house. The owner of it came to the house and found the boys playing cards.
He asked them did they see the ghost and one of them said he did and he spoke to him and did what he told him. He asked him would he marry his daughter and he said he would.
In a few days they were married and they lived in that house and never saw the ghost.
