“A few nights ago I heard the following story from a man in the neighbourhood. One evening a certain man was going to milk cows in a field where a monastery stood and he found a crucifix which he put in his pocket.”
A few nights ago I heard the following story from a man in the neighbourhood. One evening a certain man was going to milk cows in a field where a monastery stood and he found a crucifix which he put in his pocket. That night when he was in bed a ghost appeared and told him to leave back the crucifix where he found it. The man got up and dressed himself and went along with the ghost. When they arrived at the field the man placed the crucifix where he got it and the ghost disappeared.
