- One night a man who lived not far from a graveyard decided to frighten his two companions who he knew would be passing by the graveyard. He thought of a plan. He dressed himself up all in white and went to the graveyard. After a while the car came up and he jumped into the car with them. He did not frighten them but when he looked over at where he was standing he saw a ghost dressed the same as himself standing where he had been. He died soon after with fright.
