    A Story
    My uncle Patrick Healy told me the following story.
    One night his father John was sick and he was going for the priest for him. As he was going by Ruskey school he saw a priest in the yard without a head. The priest waved his hand at him and he stood to look. When he stood to look the priest disappeared. He went on for the priest. When he reached the priest he told him the story. The priest told him that it was only a vision.
