“A few years ago there was a young man who did something wrong...”
(continued from previous page)The priest asked where was he the second time he called him, he said he was coming up. The priest asked him where was he the third he said he was in the middle of the floor. Some people say that the relations begged the priest to put the man back to hell, but others say he is in that room still and can be heard screaming. That room is locked away from the rest of the hosue anyway. Emily Scully, Aharney, Tullamore.
