The next story was told to Mrs. Heard by her father, who experienced it as a slave boy.

“My father said when he was a boy, him and two more boys run away from the master ’cause the master whipped ’em. They set out and walked till it got dark, and they saw a big old empty house settin’ back from de road. Now, this house was three or four miles from any other house. So they went in and made a fire and laid down ’cause they was tired from running from the pattyrollers. Soon, they heard something say, Tap! tap! tap! Down the stairs it came, a loud noise, and then, ‘Oh, Lordy, Master, I ain’t goin’ do it no more. Let me off this time.’ After a while, they heard this same noise like a house falling in and the same words: ‘Oh, Lordy, Master, I ain’t goin’ do it no more. Let me off this time.’ By this time, they had got good and scared, so my pa said he and his friends looked at each other and got up and ran away from that house just as fast as they could go. Nobody knowed why this old house was hainted, but they believed that some slaves had been killed in it.”
