- A man was once returning from a visit to a sick person. The person was very bad and the man remained very late at the house. He had a saddle horse and when he was gone about half his journey the horse suddenly seemed as if he was drawing a terrible load.
The man became very frightened and he beat the horse to see if he could make her gallop, but it was no good. The horse was pouring sweat and she continued so for about a mile of the road until they came to a little stream and the moment they crossed the stream the load seemed to fall and the horse galloped to the house. From that night on that man was never seen out late.- Collector
