    called the ghost house. And every night about midnight there would be light seen in it. The old people of long ago say that those houses should not be moved; People say there is no ghosts out nowadays as the priests say prayers after mass to banish them away. If you interfer with a ghost or any other Spirit they will not interfer with you. Old people believe in all those stories as they say they all happened in days gone by.

    A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Rainbow in the morning is a sailors warning
    Rainbow in the night, is the sailors delight
    Rome wasnt built in a day
    Hunger is a good sauce.
    A green Christmas makes a fat chuchyard
