Kilda, according to Martin, held that cows shared the visions of second-sighted milk-maids. Horses are said to shy on the scene of murders. In a case given later the dog shut up in a room full of unexplained noises, yelled and whined. The Rev. J. G. Wood gives a case of a cat which nearly went mad when his mistress saw an apparition.

The men before me have shrouds upon them. The courtyard is filled with ghosts.
