The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

"'About
a
month
after,
as
I
was
coming
from
Blair
{146b}
alone,
about
the
same
time
of
the
night,
a
big
dog
appeared
to
me,
of
a
dark
greyish
colour,
between
the
Hilltown
and
Knockhead
{146c}
of
Mause,
on
a
lea
rig
a
little
below
the
road,
and
in
passing
by
it
touched
me
sonsily
(firmly)
on
the
thigh
at
my
haunch-bane
(hip-bone),
upon
which
I
pulled
my
staff
from
under
my
arm
and
let
a
stroke
at
it;
and
I
had
a
notion
at
the
time
that
I
hit
it,
and
my
haunch
was
painful
all
that
night.
However,
I
had
no
great
thought
of
its
being
anything
particular
or
extraordinary,
but
that
it
might
be
a
mad
dog
wandering.
About
a
year
after
that,
to
the
best
of
my
memory,
in
December
month,
about
the
same
time
of
the
night
and
in
the
same
place,
when
I
was
alone,
it
appeared
to
me
again
as
before,
and
passed
by
me
at
some
distance;
and
then
I
began
to
think
it
might
be
something
more
than
ordinary.
"'In
the
month
of
December,
1730,
as
I
was
coming
from
Perth,
from
the
Claith
(cloth)
Market
a
little
before
sky-setting,
it
appeared
to
me
again,
being
alone,
at
the
same
place,
and
passed
by
me
just
as
before.
I
had
some
suspicion
of
it
then
likewise,
but
I
began
to
think
that
a
neighbour
of
mine
in
the
Hilltown
having
an
ox
lately
dead,
it
might
be
a
dog
that
had
been
at
the
carrion,
by
which
I
endeavoured
to
put
the
suspicion
out
of
my
head.
