- (continued from previous page)the late hours of the night.
- long ago a man came to a priest to anoint a man. The priest brought his clerk with him and they brought a sidecar with them. When they were coming near a house a ghost walked out and took hold of the bridle. The priest told his clerk to drive on. The clerk told the priest that there was a ghost beside the car. The priest got off the car and he saw a ghost. He walked with the ghost about a quarter of a mile and the ghost was never seen again.
