    Once there was a church built in a field opposite my house in the day time and carried down to Michaelschurch in the night time. It was not known who did it. Mass was offered up there very often. The Church was knocked some years ago and a graveyard put there instead of it. It is called Saint Michael's graveyard ever since.
