recovered) a few days later, he met the child running bare-headed in the
snow. When he approached to rebuke him the figure disappeared, and he

premonition.

Eglinton, Lord, was three times warned of his death by the apparition of
the family ghost, the Bodach Glas--the dark-grey man. The last
appearance was when he was playing golf on the links at St. Andrews,

Cornwall, the Duke of, in 1100, saw the spectre of William Rufus pierced
by an arrow and dragged by the devil in the form of a buck, on the same
day that he was killed. (Story told in the "Chronicle of Matthew
Paris.")

Chesterfield, Earl of (second), in 1652, saw, on waking, a spectre with
long white robes and black face. Accepting it as intimation of some
illness of his wife, then visiting her father at Networth, he set off
early to inquire, and met a servant with a letter from Lady
Chesterfield, describing the same apparition.

Mohun, Lord, killed in a duel in Chelsea Fields, appeared at the moment
of his death, in 1642, to a lady in James's Street, Covent Garden, and
also to the sister (and her maid) of Glanvil (author of "Sadducismus
Triumphatus").

Swifte, Edmund Lenthal, keeper of the Crown jewels from 1814, himself
relates (in Notes and Queries, 1860, p. 192) the appearance, in Anne
Boleyn's chamber in the Tower, of "a cylindrical figure like a glass
tube, hovering between the table and the ceiling"--visible to himself
and his wife, but not to others present.
