This
one
datum:
The
fall
of
blood
from
the
sky--
But
later,
in
the
same
place,
blood
again
fell
from
the
sky.

Notes
and
Queries,
7-8-508:
A
correspondent
who
had
been
to
Devonshire
writes
for
information
as
to
a
story
that
he
had
heard
there:
of
an
occurrence
of
about
thirty-five
years
before
the
date
of
writing:
Of
snow
upon
the
ground--of
all
South
Devonshire
waking
up
one
morning
to
find
such
tracks
in
the
snow
as
had
never
before
been
heard
of--"clawed
footmarks"
of
"an
unclassifiable
form"--alternating
at
huge
but
regular
intervals
with
what
seemed
to
be
the
impression
of
the
point
of
a
stick--but
the
scattering
of
the
prints--amazing
expanse
of
territory
covered--obstacles,
such
as
hedges,
walls,
houses,
seemingly
surmounted--
Intense
excitement--that
the
track
had
been
followed
by
huntsmen
and
hounds,
until
they
had
come
to
a
forest--from
which
the
hounds
had
retreated,
baying
and
terrified,
so
that
no
one
had
dared
to
enter
the
forest.
Notes
and
Queries,
7-9-18:
Whole
occurrence
well-remembered
by
a
correspondent:
a
badger
had
left
marks
in
the
snow:
this
was
determined,
and
the
excitement
had
"dropped
to
a
dead
calm
in
a
single
day."
Notes
and
Queries,
7-9-70:
That
for
years
a
correspondent
had
had
a
tracing
of
the
prints,
which
his
mother
had
taken
from
those
in
the
snow
in
her
garden,
in
Exmouth:
that
they
were
hoof-like
marks--but
had
been
made
by
a
biped.
Notes
and
Queries,
7-9-253:
Well
remembered
by
another
correspondent,
who
writes
of
the
excitement
and
consternation
of
"some
classes."
He
says
that
a
kangaroo
had
escaped
from
a
menagerie--"the
footprints
being
so
peculiar
and
far
apart
gave
rise
to
a
scare
that
the
devil
was
loose."
