The haunted house
One time a preacher went to see if he could put a haunt to rest at a house in his settlement. The house had been haunted for about ten years. Several people had tried to stay thereall night, but they always would get scared out by the haunt.

Then there was alot of thrashing around and struggling, and finally everything got quiet.

Then the haunt started walking again and –step- step step—up the cellar stairs. The old preacher sat watching the door, saw the doorknob turn and the door open. It looked like a youngwoman. He backed up and said, Who are you? What do you want?.
