    heavy spell the previous day, and, at first some of them were scoffing at his tale of woe. But when the affair was investigated it was established beyond doubt that the man hadn't even taken a drink on that occasion. Then the old story about the field being haunted was recalled to their minds. Thenceforward they avoided the field at night.
    Even with the last few weeks when people were going home from the wake of
