This is one of the only stories with a nice ending. A priest decides to stay in a haunted house one night to see if he can help a trapped spirit. Not long after he arrives, he hears footsteps coming from the basement coming up to his room. The ghost opens the door, but when asked what it wants, the door closes. This happens another time until the priest shouts, "In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, what do you want?" The ghost is an embodiment of a young woman, and she tells the preacher her bones are buried in the cellar. She says if he gives her a proper burial, she'll finally be able to rest. She also adds that he should get the end joint of her little finger and put it in the collection basket during services to reveal who her murderer is. If he comes back another night, she'll tell him where the money is to give to the church. All happens just as she says, and it seems like a shocking happily ever after.
