- One night a beggar woman came to a farmer's house for milk. She met the woman of the house and she asked her for milk but the woman of the house said she had no milk but that if she would go down to that house below in the trees meaning a Churchyard she would get it, the strange woman then went away.
Before one week the woman who refused the milk was dead and buried in that Churchyard. As it was very dark when she asked for the milk it was doubtful whether she was a Ghost from the Churchyard or a living woman. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
