A man was seen on the coach. He was dressed in black and he had a very pale face. The form is the ghost of a man who lived in the lane years ago and the carriage stops at the place where the deceased man lived.The man died on Christmas Night many years ago and that is the reason the carriage goes down the lane on that particular night. I got this story from my sister;-
