he minister was
standing in the house door along with Magnus and two or three girls
when Magnus said to him that the spirit had gone into the sitting-
room. The minister went and stood at the door of the room, and after
he had been there a little while, talking to the others, a pane of
glass in one of the room windows was broken. Magnus was standing
beside the minister talking to him, and when the pane broke he said
that the spirit had gone out by that. The minister went to the
window, and saw that the pane was all broken into little pieces. The
following evening, the 21st, the spirit also made its presence known
by bangings, thumpings, and loud noises.

On the 28th the ongoings of the spirit surpassed themselves. In the
evening a great blow was given on the roof of the sitting-room. The
minister was inside at the time, but Magnus with two girls was out in
the barn. At the same moment the partition between the weaving-shop
and the sitting-room was broken down, and then three windows of the
room itself--one above the minister's bed, another above his writing-
table, and the third in front of the closet door. A piece of a table
was thrown in at one of these, and a spade at another. At this the
household ran out of that room into the loft, but the minister sprang
downstairs and out; the old woman Gudrun who was named before went
with him, and there also came Magnus and some of the others. Just
then a vessel of wash, which had been standing in the kitchen, was
thrown at Gudrun's head. The minister then ran in, along with Magnus
and the girls, and now everything that was loose was flying about,
both doors and splinters of wood. The minister opened a room near the
outer door intending to go in there, but just then a sledge hammer
which lay at the door was thrown at him, but it only touched him on
the side and hip, and did him no harm. From there the minister and
the others went back to the sitting-room, where everything was dancing
about, and where they were met with a perfect volley of splinters of
deal from the partitions. The minister then fled, and took his wife
and child to Muli, the next farm, and left them there, as she was
frightened to death with all this. He himself returned next day.

On the 8th of December, the woman again made her appearance in broad
daylight. On this occasion she broke the shelves and panelling in the
pantry, in presence of the minister, Magnus, and others. According to
Magnus
