    house she spied a cat and the priest allowed her to take it with her. She snapped it up on the spot and tore it into shreds. The priest continued to drag her until he had her on the door step. She held the [?] and continued to spit at him. It is not exactly known if he did bring her through the door-way, but according to accounts she did, and she is lurking in some place convenient to that house even to the present day.
