A Ghost Story
“One night a Priest was called on a sick call.”
186
A Ghost StoryOne night a Priest was called to a sick call. On his way he came to a house full of light, he could hear sweet music coming from it. He went over to it and the music was so nice that he stayed listening too long, and when he went to the house where the person was sick, the person was dead.When he was going home there was no house there at all. It is said that it was the devil that put it there so as the Priest would not be at the sick person's house until the person was dead.
