  1. (continued from previous page)
    home, a priest was brought, he recovered his senses and received all the rites of the Church, but was a corpse before next morning. He told the tale of his awful encounter with the ghost before he died, but soon after he departed, the arm which had given the blow became as black as a pot - hook. The ghost was never afterwards seen at Leaches Cross, though for many years people were shy of passing there at a late hour.
