When she was dying she wanted to be cluipes buried in the front of the catholic church but instead of that, she was buried at the back of the church in a swampy place. One night the priest was going on a sick call on his horse and side car. As he was going along a pig rose up out of the road and his horse stopped. the priest got down and whipped the pig which ran back to the Scully grow at the back of the chapel. There a ball of fire rose up out of the grave and mr. Scully had to raised and had to be buried where she wished.
