  1. In Smithstown graveyard a priest appeard every night. That is when the church was in good repair. He walked up and down every night by the Chapel. One night my Grandfather's Grandfather was passing by and the Priest beckoned at him and told him to pray for him, because he was suffering very much. The priest then dissappeared and was never seen again.
