The Unquiet Grave: Rats 

        A man tells the story of Mr. Thomson, a student who goes to an inn in Suffolk to study because it is a very quiet place and he is the only guest at the inn. His plan is to stay there for a month, study in the morning and walk in the afternoon and go to the bar. One day, while walking, he saw a huge rock that had been trapped in the pile behind the hole. He goes to the bar and asks Mr. Bates, a native, and he tells him that there was a post before, but the sailors threw it because they said they had a fortune. One day, Mr. Thomson decided to stop teaching, walk away, and the student stopped at the shelter when he found a small door. He opens it and sees someone lying in his bed covered with a white sheet, but he does not die because he walks and fears as if it were cold. Thomson left quickly but silently and went to the place where he was under the sheet and wanted to go home, but decided to stay next week so investigators couldn't find out why he was going so fast.

        When he arrives to leave, when his suitcases are at the entrance and the informants say goodbye, he tells them that he has forgotten a book, goes upstairs and looks towards the room, but now the creature does not have a sheet and a sasilla attached to the neck . It turns out that it shakes and itches the feet. Mr. Thomson runs out of the room, goes downstairs and goes out to the inn, and when he wakes up, investigators say he shouldn't have entered and tells them there is a ghost. Old Inkner was a thief there and killed the guests, he was hanged on a pole, but the sailors threw him because the body was afraid to fish. Then the devil returned and they locked him up. He tells Mr. Thomson not to say anything and say nothing until he is a very old person and tells the story to the father of the owner of the inn in Suffolk.
