  1. One time a man dies. Every night he was seen at an old house that was knocked down. One night a gipsy passed and he asked the dead man what was wrong with him or could he do anything for him. The dead man spoke and said he was in Purgatory and he wanted one Mass said for him before he could be saved. The gipsy went into the town next day and told the priest of A Mass was said for him and he was never seen after.
