Summary

The ghost of an old farmer kept coming back.

None of the housekeepers who worked for a farmer's son stayed long in the work. One night, when the farmer's son was away from home at a sale, the farmer's ghost came to the door. He told the housekeeper who was there at that time where his son would find a pot of gold and that he should marry herself. The son was given the messages on his return. He did what his father asked him. The old farmer's ghost never came back.

The contributor heard this story from his father.
