| Anonymous 170 | The familiar of a woman of "evil fame," (Anonymous 419) residing in Winchester in the county of Hampshire, who approaches a schoolmistress (Anonymous 418) after the woman of "evil fame" muttered against the schoolmistress. The familiar is described as "a monstrous great Toad walking on all four like a Cat," and came from the house of the suspect woman. (Anonymous 419) The schoolmistress retires into her house, and gets her husband to "get some Instrument, wherewithal to dispatch that monstrous vermin." Before John H. has the chance to strike it, however, "it rusht suddenly into another room, and was never seen afterwards." | In the evening the patient standing at the door of her house, saw a monstrous great Toad walking upon all four like a Cat, and coming from the house of the supposed, directly towards her; upon which she retired into the house, and desired her husband to get some Instrument, wherewithal to dispatch that monstrous vermin; as he was coming towards the door, he met with it in the entry, and before he had the power to strike at it, it rusht suddenly into another room, and was never seen afterwards.
