    There is an old man living in a house about a quarter of a mile from us. His name is Mr. Jack Frost and his sister is Margaret. He built an addition to his house. Every time he roofs it, it is taken off during the night. After his wife dying the Banshee was heard crying every night around the house for a long time. There was also a light seen in the wood near the house and it is said the light is seen there yet. It is a very big house. Frost's house is haunted.
