The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

"To
which
the
spectrum
replied
that
was
true
indeed;
but
withal
directed
the
young
man
to
ride
to
Totness
and
buy
for
her
a
ring
of
that
value,
which
the
spirit
said
she
would
accept
of,
which
being
provided
accordingly,
she
received.
Since
the
performance
of
which
the
ghost
or
apparition
of
the
old
gentleman
hath
seemed
to
be
at
rest,
having
never
given
the
young
man
any
further
trouble.
"But
the
next
day
after
having
delivered
the
ring,
the
young
man
was
riding
home
to
his
master's
house,
accompanyed
by
a
servant
of
the
gentlewoman's
near
Totness,
and
near
about
the
time
of
their
entrance
(or
a
little
before
they
came)
into
the
parish
of
Spraiton
aforesaid,
there
appeared
to
be
upon
the
horse
behind
the
young
man,
the
resemblance
of
the
second
wife
of
the
old
gentleman
spoken
of
before.
"This
daemon
often
threw
the
young
man
off
his
horse,
and
cast
him
with
such
violence
to
the
ground
as
was
great
astonishment,
not
only
to
the
gentlewoman's
servant
(with
him),
but
to
divers
others
who
were
spectators
of
the
frightful
action,
the
ground
resounding
with
great
noise
by
reason
of
the
incredible
force
with
which
he
was
cast
upon
it.
At
his
coming
into
his
master's
yard,
the
horse
which
he
rid,
though
very
poor
and
out
of
case,
leaped
at
one
spring
twenty-five
foot,
to
the
amazement
of
all
that
saw
it.
Soon
after
the
she-spectre
shewed
herself
to
divers
in
the
house,
viz.,
the
aforesaid
young
man,
Mistress
Thomasin
Gidly,
Ann
Langdon,
born
in
that
parish,
and
a
little
child,
which,
by
reason
of
the
troublesomeness
of
the
spirit,
they
were
fain
to
remove
from
that
house.
She
appeared
sometimes
in
her
own
shape,
sometimes
in
forms
very
horrid;
now
and
then
like
a
monstrous
dog
belching
out
fire;
at
another
time
it
flew
out
at
the
window,
in
the
shape
of
a
horse,
carrying
with
it
only
one
pane
of
glass
and
a
small
piece
of
iron.
