In a grave at Stevenage, Herts, are interred the remains of a fanner, who died in 1721. He bequeathed his estate to his two brothers, to be enjoyed by them for thirty years, at the expiration of which time he expected to return to life, when the estate was to return to him. His coffin was affixed to a beam in his barn, locked, and a key enclosed that lie might let himself out. As not even Iris ghost had put in an appearance four days after the stiuplated period had elapsed, he was given Christian burial
