- There was a gifted priest around this place named Father Peter Crowley. While he was going to school he and his schoolmates used spend a couple of hours in the schoolmasters garden frightening crows. One day this boy Crowley was sent out to frighten the crows. After five minutes he came in and when the master asked him what brought him in he said that there were no more crows there, that they were in the old ruin at the end of the garden.The master thought he was telling lies and he did not believe him, but after some persuasion he went out in the garden. There the crows were safely inside the old ruin. Next day the master went to the boy's father and told him that the boy was gifted. Then the boy went to college and was ordained a priest.
