- (continued from previous page)In the dance hall she met a man and she danced with him all the night. When it was time to go home he went some of the way with her. When they were walking along her lace opened and she stooped to tie it. When she was tying it she saw he had cows feet. She let a scream and when he was going away he put a black mark on the back of her neck. She told the priest and he told her to keep away from strangers.
