Agnes Browne alleges in her deposition that she last saw the thing like a black dog the previous Wednesday, which was July 24, 1566. This time, it came with a dagger in its mouth and asked her if she was dead. She replied that she was not and thanked God, to which it said it would fix that by thrusting its dagger into her heart. Agnes claims she commanded it to lay down its knife in the name of Jesus, but it refused to part with its "[sw]eete dames knyfe." She then asked who its dame was, and it "nodded & wagged his head to your house mother water house."(28-36)
