L30-1：The death of a ghost
For years,
villagers believed that Endley Farm was hunted.
The farm was owned by two brothers, Joe and Bob Cox.
They employed a few farmhands,
but no one was willing to work there long.
Every time a worker gave up his job,
he told the same story.
Farm labourers said that they always woke up to find that work had been done overnight.
Hay had been cut and cowsheds had been cleaned.
A farm worker,
who stayed up all night claimed to have seen a figure cutting corn in the moonlight.
In time,
it became an accepted fact that the Cox brothers employed a conscientious ghost that did most of their work for them.
No one suspected that there might be someone else on the farm who had never been seen.
This was indeed the case.
A short time ago,
villagers were astonished to learn that the ghost of Endley had died.
Everyone went to the funeral,
for the 'ghost' was none other than Eric Cox,
a third brother who was supposed to have died as a young man.
After the funeral,
Joe and Bob revealed a secret which they had kept for over fifty years.
