Anonymous 236, the brother-in-law of a woman (Anonymous 224) allegedly bewitched, decides to pursue that "Devil's instrument" (Anonymous 244) which is responsible for her affliction on June 13, 1678. Anonymous 236 prepares a fire, and "phasied the Evil Spirit to be got into a Stone-Bottle that hung over the fire," a bottle which roared loudly. The room he finds himself in becomes filled with unexplained smoke and fire. Anonymous 236 also hears a noise like a Clap of Thunder, or the report of a Cannon, and suffers a blow to the side of his head that makes him feel as if he has been stuck with awls (tools) or needles, which throws him to the ground. The Evil Spirit then departs up the Chimney, "carrying away the Pot-hangers and Bottle with him; but the Bottle came down again, still roaring and casting a dismal tract of Smoak, but not in any part broken." The spirit seems gone.(5-7)

As a full grown man, Thomas Woodcock returns to Oundle, where he lived as a boy, upon the death of King Charles II. The innkeeper tells Thomas Woodcock that "their Well had drumm'd" of its own accord, as it did when he was a child and the Scots were coming into England. The well is believed to drum "on several Changes of Times." Going to the well, Thomas Woodcok "heard, it drumm'd once since." (157)
