  1. A man by the name of James Finucane for a horse to a man far away. When he reached the house it was very late and he stayed there that night. When he was in bed, he heard the door opening and the man who was after dying came in and looked at him. He reached out for his matches but by the time he got them the man was gone. He got up and went out and called the girl and asked for Holy water. He got the holy water and he blessed the room and he slept well till morning.
