    that a man from the Kilnockin side was going to Mass to Coolavota. He was passing by the gate of the Church yard as he was passing he saw a priest in the ruins of the old Chapel saying Mass. He went in and heard Mass there every Sunday, for a long time.
    One of his neighbours asked him what was the matter with him as he did not see him at Mass lately. The man said, I have Mass every Sunday nearer home. "The neighbour asked where and the man said in Kilmacow grave-yard there is a priest saying Mass every Sunday in the ruins of the Old Chapel." The neighbour said "I will go with you next Sunday." The two of them went the following Sunday but the priest did not say Mass any more.
    He was really a ghost.
