The Ghost (1913)
Tim O'Grath loves his drink, so much so in fact that when he goes to market and sells his pigs, he stops at the tavern and spends the money instead of taking it to his landlord. Tim is taken home by Father Daley. They put Tim to bed and he enters the "land where things are not what they seem and phantoms lurk within whiskey dreams." St. Patrick appears to him and tells him that he shall roam the earth in spirit until he kisses the sacred cross of Father Daley and promises to drink no more. St. Patrick leaves him and Tim sees himself prepared for burial and the neighbors are holding a wake. He goes into the room, but is not seen by the mourners. Tim wanders out into the street, but is not seen by his friends, and he hears everyone talking of the sad death of Tim O'Grath. He meets the same fate at the tavern and at last takes refuge in the church, where he finds the cross and kisses it, only to wake and find himself kissing the pillow. He firmly resolves to drink no more, throws the bottle into the street, which almost strikes Bridget and Father Daley. Bridget is struck almost dumb with astonishment to see Tim throwing good whiskey away. Thinking he has the delirium tremens, she rushes into the house to find Tim only too ready to kiss the cross of Father Daley and sign the pledge forever.
