In Context

2In that place there was a man that had a bad spirit in him, and he lived in the cemetery. He was really strong and no-one could hold him or make him sit down quiet. People tried to tie him up with chains, but he just broke them. He was so mad that all day and all night he walked around the cemetery and all over the hills screaming and cutting himself with stones.
