Both of them spoke to each other and it is said that it was his ghost.There was a house and there was a ghost in it and the people got it consecrated. When the ghost went the fariest turned grey in the head.One night a man was walking on the road when he met a ghost and when the man stopped he would stop. The name of this man was Mr Turlong. - Long ago during the penal times no Catholic could stay on the town side of the bridge before sunrise or after sunset until before emancipation.
