When asked how she knows the spirit in the shape of a dun chicken has gone from them, she claims that it, and the rest of her spirits, "are now come into her, and are now in the bottome of her bellie, and make her so full, that she is like to burst." They have made her so full and heavy that she could barely lace her petticoat that morning, and her weight caused her horse to fall down.(59)

Mother Alice Samuel alleges during her confession that she received six familiar spirits from an "upright man" who told her Robert Throckmorton was "a hard man & would trouble her much," which is why she was instructed to use the spirits to trouble the Throckmorton children. She claims that the spirits were rewarded for their services by sucking her blood, and would also suck before she sent them out. She added that sometimes she would "giue a privie becke or nod, with her finger or head, & then the spirits presently stopped the childrens mouths, that they could not speake untill they came out againe: & then would y children wipe their eyes and be well again." The man who gave her these spirits also taught her how to call them, three by the names of Pluck, Catch and White, and the rest by three smacks of her mouth.(59-60)

Mother Alice Samuel alleges in her confession that she does not know the name of the man who gave her the six spirits. She is commanded by the court to go into another room and demand his name from the sprits, which she does with the words "O thou diuell, I charge thee in the name of the Father, the Son, & the Holy-ghost, that thou tel me the name of the vpright man which gaue me the deuils: which thing she did three times." She returns claiming the man's name is Langlad. When she is unable to say where Langlad is from, she is sent back into the chamber to ask. This time, she claims that he has no dwelling, and is demanded to ask where he is at present from her spirits. She conveys the response as "he went on the last voiage beyond the seas."(59, 60-61)
