    Many years ago a man who lived up about Castletown had a quarrel with a priest whose name was Father Barton. The man was going to strike the priest.
    When the priest saw this he got angry and he turned the man into a mule. He told someone who was there to bring him down to the blacksmith and get him shod. The priest got sorry when they were gone and he followed them down the road and changed the mule into the shape of a man again. But people say that if he was shod the priest could not use his power to change him back again.
