Peter Rugg

Peter Rugg was a man who lived a long time ago, in the 1700s. He was famous for a strange and mysterious story that people liked to tell.

You see, Peter Rugg loved to travel. He would often ride his horse and carriage all over the country, going from town to town. But one day, something very strange happened to him.

Peter Rugg was driving his carriage on a dark and stormy night. He was trying to get home, but the wind and rain were so bad that he could barely see where he was going. Suddenly, he saw a strange carriage driving towards him. It was being pulled by black horses and had no driver.

Peter tried to avoid the carriage, but it seemed to follow him wherever he went. He became very scared and tried to drive faster and faster to get away. But no matter how fast he went, the other carriage stayed right behind him.

This went on for many years. Peter Rugg was never able to get home. He was always driving, always trying to escape the strange, driverless carriage that followed him wherever he went. Some people say that he is still out there, driving his carriage to this day.

Now, some people say that this whole story is just a legend. But others believe that it is true, and that Peter Rugg was cursed by someone or something to never be able to go home. It's still a mystery to this day, and people still tell the story of Peter Rugg and his never-ending journey.
