At night the ghost of a black-clad priest in old-fashioned dress, holding a missal, emerged from the tomb of the Church of St Philip and St James. He walked around the church and rectory and continued beyond the village, where he vanished. Sometimes an altar boy accompanied him, whom he strangled after prayer.
