For years ago, villagers believed that Endley farm has haunted. The farm was owned by two brothers, Joe and Bert Cox. The farm labourers said that they always woke up to find that work had been done over night. Hay had been cut out and cow sheds had been cleaned. No one suspected that three 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 funeral for the ‘ghost’ was none
other then Erick Cox, a third brothers who was supposed to have died as young
man. After the funeral, Joe and Bert revealed a secret which they had kept for
over fourty years.
Eric
had the eldest son of the family. He had been obliged to join the army during
the first World War. As he hated army life, he decided to desert his regiment.
When he knew that he would have been abroad, he return to the farm and his
father hid him until the end of the war.
Fearing
that authorities, Eric remained in hiding after the war as well. His father
told everybody that he had been killed in action. The only other people who
knew the secret were Joe and Bert. They did not even tell their wives. When
their father died, they though it their duty to keep Eric in hiding.
All
these year, Eric had lives as a recluse. He used to sleep during the day and
work at night, quite unaware of the fact that he become the ghost of Endley.
When he died, however, his brothers found it impossible to keep the secret any
longer.
