He prayed and called and there was a greater noise. So he prayed and called out the third time and the dead man appeared.
The priest asked him where he had been and he said in Hell "and my son shall not forget this". All the guests fainted & the priest and his boy went home.
They had to go for the priest the next day as the dead man was still standing in the diningroom. So the priest went back and the spirit went out throught the window in a cloud of smoke. This window in this certain house is overgrown with ivy to the present day & could never be repaired as it would be pulled down again. The two girls of the house turned Catholics & one of the boys and the other boy went away and was never heard of since.
