- Ghost Story July 23rd 1934
In a field near where I live there is a bush known as the "Dead Bush." Many years ago a woman in white used to be seen combing her hair. One morning when children were playing in the field one of them picked up a comb and combed her hair with it. Immediately her lovely brown hair turned white and after wards it was said that the banshee was the owner of the comb.- Collector
