  1. One night two young boys were taking a walk on the road. It was such a beautiful night they sat down along an old lane. After a while they heard laughing and talking and lovely music. They waited there until the music came on to them. No one came on and still the laughing and talking kept coming on nearer. All of a sudden they heard voices in an other direction and a very loud laugh as to answer the rest. Then all voices ceased and the two boys went home very frightened.
