(continued from previous page)He saw three lights on before him going twords the house and he noticed something flopping in the gutter beside his horse. The priest asked who was there and a voice answered saying "I'm the soul of a child that died belonging to the woman that is dying tonight without being baptised and the three lights are the souls of children that did but they were baptised and we are coming to night to see our mother".

The woman died that night also.
