A friend of mine was visiting his grandparents in San Saba Tx , he was a young child when all this took place so take it with a grain of salt :-) What he related was that there was a big house on top of a hill that had fences all round it. His grandparents house was at the bottom of the hill on the same lane as the big house. He said you could hear this old women cackling in the middle of the night and screaming at the help. Every night she would be in the same window upstairs swinging a lit lantern back and forth and cackling. Does anyone know the origin of this lady and the story behind her? Was she trying to guide someone home from a trip? A trip they were never coming back from? Was this a lost soul looking for a lost love??? If anyone knows of this story please contact me. Thanks Glitz
