  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    One time there was a priest going on a sick call in Abington. He was going in a horse and trap and he came to a haunted place in Abington and a ghost came out of a hole and stopped the horse and then unharnessed the horse from under the trap and the priest said that he would trick him. So he harnessed the horse with all haste and he was to the sick person before he died. He spoke about it next Sunday off the altar and he told the people that they need never dread the ghost again that he would banish and he was never seen there again.
