So out he ran and closed the door after him the man that was with the pig came out and went to mass, they all ran through the windows. He faced up to the priest when he saw him and he ran out the door. The man ran after him for about a mile and got caught in a boghole, the man tore him up he was down to his shoulder, then he told him his story and he called the people here and there.
