- (continued from previous page)mark out the spot where this repentant sinner lies. Some say that God must not have thought her pure enough to be buried with other people. About a week after the burial the people that the girl worked for began to hear noises in the house at midnight, the noises were like cups and saucers being thrown on the floor. This continued for a few nights and the people of the house could not sleep at night so they sent for the priest and the priest blessed the house and the people. The noises were never heard afterwards, so this is where I finish my strange yarn.
