The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·

"The
spectre
hath
shewed
great
offence
at
the
perriwigs
which
the
young
man
used
to
wear,
for
they
are
often
torn
from
his
head
after
a
very
strange
manner;
one
that
he
esteemed
above
the
rest
he
put
in
a
small
box,
and
that
box
he
placed
in
another,
which
he
set
against
the
wall
of
his
chamber,
placing
a
joint-stool
with
other
weight
a
top
of
it,
but
in
short
time
the
boxes
were
broken
in
sunder
and
the
perriwig
rended
into
many
small
parts
and
tatters.
Another
time,
lying
in
his
master's
chamber
with
his
perriwig
on
his
head,
to
secure
it
from
danger,
within
a
little
time
it
was
torn
from
him
and
reduced
into
very
small
fragments.
At
another
time
one
of
his
shoe-strings
was
observed
(without
the
assistance
of
any
hand)
to
come
of
its
own
accord
out
of
its
shoe
and
fling
itself
to
the
other
side
of
the
room;
the
other
was
crawling
after
it,
but
a
maid
espying
that,
with
her
hand
drew
it
out,
and
it
strangely
clasp'd
and
curl'd
about
her
hand
like
a
living
eel
or
serpent;
this
is
testified
by
a
lady
of
considerable
quality,
too
great
for
exception,
who
was
an
eye-witness.
The
same
lady
shewed
Mr.
C.
one
of
the
young
man's
gloves,
which
was
torn
in
his
pocket
while
she
was
by,
which
is
so
dexterously
tatter'd
and
so
artificially
torn
that
it
is
conceived
a
cutler
could
not
have
contrived
an
instrument
to
have
laid
it
abroad
so
accurately,
and
all
this
was
done
in
the
pocket
in
the
compass
of
one
minute.
It
is
further
observable
that
if
the
aforesaid
young
man,
or
another
person
who
is
a
servant
maid
in
the
house,
do
wear
their
own
clothes,
they
are
certainly
torn
in
pieces
on
their
backs,
but
if
the
clothes
belong
to
any
other,
they
are
not
injured
after
that
manner.
