    Castle Oliver.
    There were people living in a place called Castle Oliver. One night they saw a strange figure going through the house. So they left it that night. One night three men made up their minds that they would go in and sleep there. When they reached the house one man went in and the other two closed the door against him, and did not leave him out. Late in the night the ghost came, and pushed the man against the wall and killed him.
