    night they heard the same thing and one of them got up to see what was the matter and he saw a figure clad in white running up and down the stairs.
    Everybody was very frightened when they heard what had been seen and they went to a priest and told him about it and he said that he would settle the ghost so he went to the house and blessed it but the people were afraid to live in it and it has never been inhabited since. It is now in ruins and it has no roof or doors on it as they were taken off for another house.
