    Some time ago a Parson bought a house that blonged to a Priest. When he went to a certain room no one cold enter after dark. There was a Priest always seen in this room. One night a friend of the Parson's said he would go to see the Priest so he did. He saluted him, asked him why he was there. He said he heard the confession of a dumb girl. She had her sons written down on a paper. He forgot to burn it. It was still in the room. He was commanded by God to guard it. Till some one burn it in front of him. When it was burnt he was never seen again.
