It seems that back in the early nineteenth century, a serving girl named Catherine refused a dying Philip Thomas a glass of water. Well, you can imagine how that turned out. Philip's ghost came back with a vengeance, tossing a bucket of water over Catherine, instructing a child in the house to burn some clothing, and pelting the building with stones. It was relentless, always keeping a beeline for Catherine, trying to strangle her. The poor girl must have been terrified.
