The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·

"After
this
it
was
observed
that
that
part
of
the
young
man's
body
which
had
been
on
the
mud
in
the
quagmire
was
somewhat
benummbed
and
seemingly
deader
than
the
other,
whereupon
the
following
Saturday,
which
was
the
day
before
Low
Sunday,
he
was
carried
to
Crediton,
alias
Kirton,
to
be
bleeded,
which
being
done
accordingly,
and
the
company
having
left
him
for
some
little
space,
at
their
return
they
found
him
in
one
of
his
fits,
with
his
forehead
much
bruised,
and
swoln
to
a
great
bigness,
none
being
able
to
guess
how
it
happened,
until
his
recovery
from
that
fit,
when
upon
enquiry
he
gave
them
this
account
of
it:
that
a
bird
had
with
great
swiftness
and
force
flown
in
at
the
window
with
a
stone
in
its
beak,
which
it
had
dashed
against
his
forehead,
which
had
occasioned
the
swelling
which
they
saw.
"The
people
much
wondering
at
the
strangeness
of
the
accident,
diligently
sought
the
stone,
and
under
the
place
where
he
sat
they
found
not
such
a
stone
as
they
expected
but
a
weight
of
brass
or
copper,
which
it
seems
the
daemon
had
made
use
of
on
that
occasion
to
give
the
poor
young
man
that
hurt
in
his
forehead.
"The
persons
present
were
at
the
trouble
to
break
it
to
pieces,
every
one
taking
a
part
and
preserving
it
in
memory
of
so
strange
an
accident.
After
this
the
spirit
continued
to
molest
the
young
man
in
a
very
severe
and
rugged
manner,
often
handling
him
with
great
extremity,
and
whether
it
hath
yet
left
its
violences
to
him,
or
whether
the
young
man
be
yet
alive,
I
can
have
no
certain
account."
