    “There was a Protestant living where Laurance O Brien is living now.”

    There was a Protestant living where Lawrance O Brien is living now.
    One Ash Wednesday the people were coming from Mass and they had the Ashes on their foreheads.
    '' Look at all the black sheep coming ''
    he said to himself. The next day he fell down the stairs and was killed.
    Afterwards it took seven priests to take the ghost out of that house.
    The priests were praying there for hours and hours. In the end the priests put the ghost under a gooseberry bush by praying. These never grew a branch on that tree since.
