The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

"Next
morning
a
labouring
man
from
Castle
Shields,
by
name
Adam
Redpath,
was
going
to
his
work
(digging
sheep-drains
on
the
moor),
when
on
the
Foul
Fords
he
met
Henry
Keane
lying
stone
dead
and
with
no
mark
of
violence
on
his
body.
His
hat,
coat,
waistcoat,
shoes
and
stockings
were
lying
at
about
100
yards
distance
from
him
on
the
Greenlaw
side
of
the
Fords,
and
while
his
flannel
drawers
were
off
and
lying
with
the
rest
of
his
clothes,
his
trousers
were
on.
Mr.
Ord,
the
minister
of
Longformacus,
told
one
or
two
persons
what
John
Keane
(the
father)
had
said
to
him
on
his
deathbed,
and
by
degrees
the
story
got
abroad.
It
was
this.
Keane
said
that
he
was
returning
home
slowly
after
his
sister's
funeral,
looking
on
the
ground,
when
he
was
suddenly
roused
by
hearing
the
tramping
of
horses,
and
on
looking
up
he
saw
a
large
troop
of
riders
coming
towards
him
two
and
two.
What
was
his
horror
when
he
saw
that
one
of
the
two
foremost
was
the
sister
whom
he
had
that
day
seen
buried
at
Greenlaw!
On
looking
further
he
saw
many
relations
and
friends
long
before
dead;
but
when
the
two
last
horses
came
up
to
him
he
saw
that
one
was
mounted
by
a
dark
man
whose
face
he
had
never
seen
before.
He
led
the
other
horse,
which,
though
saddled
and
bridled,
was
riderless,
and
on
this
horse
the
whole
company
wanted
to
compel
Keane
to
get.
He
struggled
violently,
he
said,
for
some
time,
and
at
last
got
off
by
promising
that
one
of
his
family
should
go
instead
of
him.
