    by a chapel at one o'clock at night just as he passed he heard a loud voice saying is there anyone here who will serve mass. The man did'nt answer him but he went to the priest & told him about it. The priest came & served mass. The man who spoke out of the chapel was a priest who was dead. There was a priest saying mass once & as he was offering up the sacred host he dropped dead & all the people who were at mass were alarmed & at once the dead priest disappeared. It was said afterwards that he was taken up into heaven.
