The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

My
brother
having
told
the
minister
of
Blair,
he
and
I
came
to
the
minister
on
Monday
thereafter,
as
he
was
examining
in
a
neighbour's
house
in
the
same
town
where
I
live.
And
the
minister,
with
my
brother
and
me
and
two
or
three
more,
went
to
the
place
where
the
apparition
said
the
bones
were
buried,
when
Rychalzie
met
us
accidentally;
and
the
minister
told
Rychalzie
the
story
in
the
presence
of
all
that
were
there
assembled,
and
desired
the
liberty
from
him
to
break
up
the
ground
to
search
for
the
bones.
Rychalzie
made
some
scruples
to
allow
us
to
break
up
the
ground,
but
said
he
would
go
along
with
us
to
Glasclune
{149a};
and
if
he
advised,
he
would
allow
search
to
be
made.
Accordingly
he
went
straight
along
with
my
brother
and
me
and
James
Chalmers,
a
neighbour
who
lives
in
the
Hilltown
of
Mause,
to
Glasclune,
and
told
Glasclune
the
story
as
above
narrated;
and
he
advised
Rychalzie
to
allow
the
search
to
be
made,
whereupon
he
gave
his
consent
to
it.
"'The
day
after,
being
Friday,
we
convened
about
thirty
or
forty
men
and
went
to
the
Isle,
and
broke
up
the
ground
in
many
places,
searching
for
the
bones,
but
we
found
nothing.
"'On
Wednesday
the
23rd
December,
about
twelve
o'clock,
when
I
was
in
my
bed,
I
heard
a
voice
but
saw
nothing;
the
voice
said,
"Come
away".
{149b}
Upon
this
I
rose
out
of
my
bed,
cast
on
my
coat
and
went
to
the
door,
but
did
not
see
it.
And
I
said,
"In
the
name
of
God,
what
do
you
demand
of
me
now?"
It
answered,
"Go,
take
up
these
bones".
I
said,
"How
shall
I
get
these
bones?"
It
answered
again,
"At
the
side
of
a
withered
bush,
{150}
and
there
are
but
seven
or
eight
of
them
remaining".
I
asked,
"Was
there
any
more
guilty
of
that
action
but
you?"
It
answered,
"No".
I
asked
again,
"What
is
the
reason
you
trouble
me?"
It
answered,
"Because
you
are
the
youngest".
Then
said
I
to
it,
"Depart
from
me,
and
give
me
a
sign
that
I
may
know
the
particular
spot,
and
give
me
time".
[Here
there
is
written
on
the
margin
in
a
different
hand,
"You
will
find
the
bones
at
the
side
of
a
withered
bush.
