    the coat fell on the floor.
    The Priest noticed this and when he went home the priest followed him.
    The man told the priest that he was pestered by a spirit from week to week and the spirit would ask him the information about the place.
    The spirit used to make fun of the man.
    The man used to get very annoyed.
    The priest told the man to tell a lie to the spirit and he would never come again.
    The man did as he was bid and the spirit never came to him again.
