    The man was buried and Mary Anne was very sorrowful, she lived alone for a month then one morning she got a very surpriseful letter stating that her father was coming home in a week. When the man came home he told her the whole story.
    There was a ,man in the hospital of the same name as mine and he died and the letter was sent to you". None of the neighbours believed him for a long time as they believed him to be dead, and they would not let him ramble in their houses. They thought he was a ghost. After a while they began to speak to him but he was always pointed as the ghost.
