    and it is said that a Priest from Leap once died in Schull and he was buried where that hole is now. His people wanted the body, but the Schull people would not give it to them. Next day when they went to the graveyard the grave was empty and the earth that closed the grave was gone. Often since people tried to close the grave but they could not.
