    There was a man one time and he used to go to the church to pray and a black man would appear on the alter. One evening the man went up and asked what he wanted. He said to say a prayer for him. The man went and told the priest and the priest came with the man the next evening and the man appeared again. The priest went up and asked him what he wanted. He said to say a little prayer from him. Then the priest went up and said mass and man disappeared for ever.
