    The Ghost Ship
    down to the convent to see what was wrong. One of the nuns rang it and some men came down but could not get out to it. That night some of the nuns were going to bed when they looked out and saw a white ship. It was a ghost ship. When October came again some of the nuns saw it again. Every 5th of October night the ship can be seen coming towards the convent and when it gets to the foot you can see men jumping off. It then vanishes.
