- About 50 years ago a man named Ferguson lived at the post of Benbo. She was very fond of playing cards. One night as he was coming home from card playing he saw a light before him on the roads and as he came nearer he saw a man sitting on the roads and as he came nearer he saw a man sitting on the road side. He had a table two chairs and a pack of cards on the table. The man told Ferguson to sit down and play and they were not long playing till a card fell and Ferguson stooped to lift it up saw the man had a cloven hoof. The man finished the game and went home as quickly as he could and went to bed and as the story is told never got up again from he fright he got that night.
