- There were people cardplaying in a house one night, adn after a while they began beting to see which of them would go in alone to the graveyard at night. One girl said she would do it, and she started off. When she was in the graveyard someone passed her by with a sheet on her, and she thought it was someone that wanted to frighten her. She pulled the sheet of her and ran home. After a while a voice came to the house crying "Give me my sheet," It is a cold and frosty night." They put it on a stick and lifted up the window and put out the sheet. Then the sheet was taken away.
