- (continued from previous page)When the man came to the middle of the field the hand caught him the big hole came in the ground where the priest shook the holy water. The hand pulled him down through the ground. The priest pulled him up again. Then he sprinkled the holy water and the devil vanished. The hole is still there to this day, and cows that are grazing there keep 200 hundred yards away from the hole. Some people go to visit to see the hole in the ground.
