    people of that house lit a fire for him and he stayed there. About the middle of the night the priest appeared. The man who stayed up asked the priest what he wanted. The priest said that he forgot to burn a dummy's confession that was in a shelf in the room. Then the priest burned the dummy's confession because now he had the fire to burn it. The priest didn't appear any more after that.
