- Once upon a time there was a certain part of the road where the people said a ghost was.
Some people living near the spot decided to frighten a neighbour. They were expecting the neighbour to pass the road that night.
One of the people went out with a sheet around him and sat on the ditch to frighten his neighbour. he waited for a long time and at last somebody come the road and stared across at the man in the sheet and said
"You came to scare
I came to fear
You sit there
And Ill sit here." That was the real ghost who came and frightened the bad neighbour. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
