that when she goes into the washhouse
she turns over tubs and keeps mp con

She has even been seen in the day time

One peculiarly is that when spoken
to by any one but Sue Fletcher she
disappears for an instant, then becomes
visable in few moments in some other
portion of the yard. Her favorite place
is over the old well where she died
The spirit has been seen by the terror

women have seen and are afraid of her
and all swear that she is a haunt and
not a human being. Nashville Amerl-
