LEGEND
MY FATHER (MR. KELLY) HAD A RACE HORSE THAT HE USED TO
PRACTICE EVERY NIGHT. ONE NIGHT AS HE WAS COMING HOME
AT DUSK, A MAN POPPED UP NEXT TO HIM, ON THE ROAD.
MY FATHER SAID, "HELLO, HOW ARE YOU," AND "WHAT DO YOU
WANT" BUT THE MAN NEVER ANSWERED. HE JUST KEPT WALKING
ALONG SIDE. HIS FACE COULDN'T BE SEEN FOR HE WALKED
SIDEWAYS. SUDDENLY, HE DISAPPEARED. WHEN MY FATHER GOT
HOME, HE WAS PALE AND HAD A HEADACHE. TWO DAYS LATER
THE HORSE DIED. THIS HAD BEEN A SIGN OF DEATH.

LEGEND
ABOUT 50 YEARS AGO, MY AUNT AND UNCLE, MARY AND PAT KELLY,
OWNED A HOME ON A HILL ABOUT THREE MILES OUT OF MASSON, QUE-
BEC {CANADA}. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL LIVED A FAMILY
BY THE NAME OF ROBETAILLE. EVERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHTS, THE ROBETAILLES GAVE A SQUARE DANCE FOR THE
COMMUNITY. THE WHOLE FAMILY PLAYED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
WHEN THE LAST ROBETAILLE DIED, JOE "THE FIDDLER" THE DAY
AFTER HIS FUNERAL MARY KELLY HEARD MUSIC COMING FROM THE
ROBETAILLE HOUSE. SHE WENT AND GOT PAT KELLY AND HE
HEARD THE MUSIC ALSO. EVERYONE ON THE STREET HEARD THE
MUSIC, SO THEY WENT AND GOT THEIR PARISH PRIEST, FR.
ROTHIER. HE LISTENED AND HEARD THE MUSIC ALSO. HE SAID
IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT IT WAS THEIR SPIRITS PLAYING AND
THAT IT WAS A SIGN BECAUSE THEY HAD HELPED THE YOUNG
PEOPLE OF THE TOWN WITH THEIR MUSIC. THIS CONTINUED
EVERY FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. THE HOUSE WAS PUT UP
FOR SALE BUT NO ONE WOULD BUY IT, SO IT WAS TORN DOWN.
ONCE AFTER IT HAD BEEN TORN DOWN, THEY HEARD THE FIDDLE
PLAYING.
