Maurice Sacobie: Boys that’s when my father used to tell me a lot of the stories there about where we lived. Well I’m talking before my time, but he used to live there you know where the church is? There, anyway, anyway, he used to have to go to the store every night, I guess to get something like for his mother and said he’d walk up there every night. And each night come back, he said there’d be somebody following him. Why I couldn’t see nobody, doesn’t see a light, doesn’t even stop, walking. Then, another night, up here, there’s like a break in the fence up there. There’s something running back and forth, every time I walk by, it run back and forth, back and forth. You know sound like a horse, he said this here thing here fall in behind and every night I go to store. There’s a little gully there when I get to that, he says, I’d see the house, the house he said, that’s when I’d start stretching my legs a little more that thing was right behind me. And as soon as I get into that old gully that thing would disappear so when I got to the house see the lights, well, he could see the lamps, eh, the gully’s down here and that’s when I’d start running. He said, I couldn’t see that thing anymore every other night, well, every time he’d go to the store somebody’s there. I don’t know, forerunners or somebody, you know?
