- Long ago a priest died and another priest and curates came and lived in his house. Many years after, the priest that died, was seen every night at a certain hour in a room and he pointing to a press. At last one of the curates asked him what was troubling him. He told him to take a book from the press and to take a paper out of it and burn it. Then when it was burnt he told him it was a dummy's confession which he heard in his lifetime and forgot to burn. He said this had prevented him from entering into heaven and he said he could go into heaven now.
