Entering into a conversation with this ancient mariner , I asked if he knew any legend or stories concerning the old houses all about us .<br>`` Sights of 'em ; but it aint allers the old places as has the most stories concernin ' 'em .<br>Why , that cottage down yonder aint more 'n fifty year old , and they say there 's been a lot of ghosts seen there , owin ' to a man 's killin ' of himself in the back bedroom . ''
The ancient mariner believes in ghosts
The ancient mariner was telling a story of how others had seen ghosts in the cottage, but it does not state whether he himself believes the story is true or not. Therefore he may or may not believe in ghosts himself.
