    other men could not see anybody he was dragged from them and thrown on the ground. Next day the man went to the priest and told him the whole story and the priest advised him to emigrate. He went to America but the ghost still haunted him on the ship going over. After a time he wrote home and said he was all right. This happened 90 years ago.
