- On November night a boy went to meet his true-love. He sat on the graveyard wall waiting for her. He felt a heavy weight on his shoulder. When he went home that night he saw the mark of a dead man's hand on his shoulder, and he went and told the priest and the priest was very angry with him and said
"Didn't you know that was no night to be out, that was the night for the dead to be out.
