  1. (continued from previous page)
    The Priest asked the Ghost where he was when he whistled the first time the ghost said he was in hell.. " The priest asked the ghost where was he when he whistled the second time, he replied I was coming through the ground. Where were you when I whistled the third time. I was coming through the ground there replied the ghost. At this occurrence the Lord of Clarina was converted to the Catholic faith where he and his family remained staunch to the true faith.
