“One night a man coming home from a fair.”
307One night a man coming home from a fair. It was late at night and as he was crossing a certain bridge out hopped a terrible looking person. The man spoke to it but the ghost did not answer. They waked along a good piece together and when the man looked over at, it was changed into a lovely girl with ribbons flying from her. When they came to water the girl would not cross, but dissappeared there. The man ran home quickly to his own house and went to bed. So he was afraid ever after.
