  1. There was a man and he was "not right" and he was living near a cross and every night at the cross there used to be alot of young boys and girls sitting up on the wall at the cross and the man did not like this so he bought a wireless one day and when that evening came he took it to a moat near-by and set it up and lit a lamp and when the boys and girls came and were sitting up in the wall he put it going and frightened everyone in the road and ever since there was not a person seen on the road after six o'clock.
