    Before long he was back with a book for the priest. Then the priest read it for the people who were in the house.
    He had it half read, when a man appeared in flames. All of them were frightened, except the priest and they all shouted, banish him, or you shall be done away with. The priest said he would not unless the owner of the house would turn a catholic. He did so and he disappeared.
    Written by Bridie Sheehy.
    Told to me by my father, a farmer who lives at Kilscannell,
    Ardagh,
    Co. Limerick.
