The Ghostly Warning told by John Hurley

The deeper I dig into these tales, the more I have found personal, often orally told narratives. Below is one that gave me goosebumps!

There once lived an old woman who was a widow, all alone in a cottage. Late one night, when returning from the village, a stranger overtook her. He entered into conversation with her at once. Strange to say he knew the age and whereabouts of her. When she was near her home she said, "You bear a great resemblance to my husband who is long since dead." The stranger replied, "I am the spirit of your husband. I have come here to warn you that you will die tomorrow." With that he disappeared leaving the woman very troubled in mind. She rose very early next morning, and sent for the priest. The priest arrived and she told him the whole story. The priest gave her the last Sacraments for by the time she had finished the story she had fallen to the ground unconscious and died an hour afterwards.
