    In one of the chapels in Carbury a priest died and he came back every night.

    (continued from previous page)
    were repeated three times and when the priest got no reply he went back into the vestry. That night the man went home and the next day he told the parish priest and the man and the priest went the next night and waited. The priest came out on the altar the same as before and asked if there was any-one to serve. The parish priest said there was and when they had the Mass said the priest told them that he came back for the last twenty years and no one would serve. So the priest never came out on the altar any-more.

    In the Dún at Logans there was a well and a fish was put into it so the well went dry.
