Scéalta (continued)
“There was once a man who used to go to the church every night to pray.”
(continued from previous page)people were saying "the Rosary, but the strange man said they could not go in there. The next house they went to, the people were shaking Holy Water, but the strange man said they could not go in there. At least they came to a house where a man and a woman woman were fighting and the strange said he could go in there, and the other stayed outside at the window, and he saw it was the devil he had carried. next morning there was a boy born in that house. When he grew up he was ordained a priest. When he came home he went to the church and a priest shook Holy water on him and he went on fire and burned half the church with him.
