Summary

A tramp lodging in a byre saw the ghost of a man who had committed suicide.

A tramp asked for lodgings at a farm at Slains where a man had hanged himself some years before. The tramp was lying in the byre about midnight when an old man with a beard came in and went round touching all the cows. He then went out through the closed door. This was the ghost of the man who had committed suicide.
