- This is another story of the headless coach:
Once upon a time there lived a woman in Maiden Street and she was about seventy years. One night she was waiting up for her husband who was gone to a fair.
It was one o'clock in the night and she heard cars passing and she thought it was her husband. She went out to the door and she saw the headless coach. The drivers hit her a stroke of the whip and knocked off her head. In the morning she was found dead.- Collector
