A man's wife became deathly ill the night
before Christmas in 1798, he called for the doctor but by the time the doctor had arrived his wife
had died, or so it seemed. Her husband was so grief stricken that he shut himself up on his own and
didn't attend the funeral the following day. The servants of the house carried the rich
woman's body to the Vicar who in a drunken stupor held the ceremony quickly. The veil was drawn
across her face, the stone lid lowered and the iron grille locked.

Skeleton
Lady
This story begins not too long ago and not
far away. Just to the north of here there is a country where it is winter for seven long months of
the year. Now this particular winter had gone on much longer than usual and the people were beginning
to run out of food and firewood. Inside one small house right out in the barren snowlands an old lady
was beginning to get anxious. "Oh, my husband I am so cold and hungry. Look at me! My
hands are blue! I am going to die I am sure of it."
"Don't worry my
darling, winter will be over soon. We will have food again." But the old lady looked very ill
and continued to get anxious. Eventually the old man said, "Very well my darling I will go and
search for food. But before I go you must promise me one thing. You must not use the last two logs we
have for the fire, we will need them to cook the food on when I return."
"Okay,
okay I agree just go, and please find food."
With that the old man went out in search
of food.
