  1. An Old Church

    Share Share Post
    In Roskelton there is an old Catholic Church but is long since in ruins. Every Christmas Eve at twelve midnight Mass is celebrated there by a dead priest. Numberless people have passed there. You cannot see the priest but you can hear the bell ringing at the solemn path of Mass and people go; the bell rings and when they hear it they kneel down.
