  1. (continued from previous page)
    So this man sent for a missioner that was in the parish. There was a tailor in the house along with the man and the tailor was sewing at the head of the table. When he saw the missioner coming up the street with a big long whisher down to his toes he frightened and he (Sed) let down the window and jumped out. The missioner saw him jumping and he told the man of the house that he saw the ghost jumping out the window and that he was gone.
