30 The death of a ghost

For years, villagers believed that Endley Farm was haunted.

The farm was owned by two brothers, Joe and Bob Cox.

They employed a few farmhands, but no one was willing to work there long.

Every time a worker gave up his job, he told the same story.

Farm labourers said that they always woke up to find that work had been done overnight.

Hay had been cut and cowsheds had been cleaned.
