- Long ago in Killarney a priest lived in a house whaire confessions were heard every morning. One morning a dummy went to confessions and a priest forgot to burn his sins. About two years afterwards the same priest died and his house was sold. Every night after this priest dying he used to come in to a room of the house and be pointing to a small little press and everyone was afraid of him. One night an englishman asked him what did he want and he said to burn a dummy's sins in there. He did it and the priest was never seen since.
