The bogs are notorious, for deaths around the Carlyle Area, but notwithstanding this the four friends continue Their walk across the moors as it is a short cut to their Homes, they decide to say goodbye as two of them reach their home, while the other two friends keep Walking, they are unaware of the softness in the Ground, due to very heavy rainfall, their torches Where, starting to dim and the fog was becoming Difficult to navigate, they become seperated for a Moment and the girl steps into a bog, she calls to her Friend, he hears her but cannot rescue her as his torch Has gone out, meanwhile she starts struggling but sinks Deeper into the muddy bog, her partner tries to Get help as he is like a blind man, but notices a glowing light in the distance, he has reached the town, He tries to organise a rescue party to go back into the Moors to find his girlfriend, they manage to reach the Spot where she fell in but found no trace of her The bog had claimed yet another victim. In the morning the young man walked back to the spot Where his girlfriend fell, and to his amazement she was There large as life, sitting on a large rock, he asked her Where she was all last night she never answered him But smiled at him, he asked her to come home with him She started to walk, he glanced forward and then turned Around to talk to her but she had vanished, the young Man walks home, wondering who he was talking to, Was it his girlfriend Jessie or a living ghost, he would Never go through the moors again, as he could never Be sure that she would reappear again, after this incident The road through the moors was closed to the public As it was much too dangerous to use as a short cut.
