Description:		An old lady gave birth to only girls and they all went to marry and left her alone in the house. When she died and turned into a ghost her daughters did not know about this. One day one of her daughters' husband died and they sent a child to go to the house and inform her mother. The child was complaining that the place was far and they have sent her to so many places to inform people about the death. The ghost heard about this and expressed her surprise. This made the child fall down mumbling. When he woke up he went straight to his house. The ghost followed to the funeral house to express her condolence. When she got to the funeral house she sung a funeral dirge and the mourners who could not see her her ran away leaving only one man who was brave and he took the corpse to be buried. This is how the Gurene speakers now have pallbearers.
