Summary

The ghost of a priest in Ireland kept coming back.

When an old priest from Ireland died, his successors would not stay long in his place. When the third priest came, the old priest's ghost came knocking at his door. He asked the young priest to remove the name of a young child who had died from the book. The priest did that and the old man's ghost never appeared again.

The contributor heard this story from an Irish carpenter who was with him at sea at the end of the war.
