The servant of Mr. Philip Furze, one Francis Fey from the county of Devon, had appear "unto him, the resemblance of an Aged Gentleman, like his masters Father," in a field near his master's house. The resemblance had "a Pole or Staff in his hand, resembling that he was wont to carry when living, to kill the moles withal." The specter approached Francis Fey, and "bid him not be afraid of him, but tell his Master (who was his Son) that several Legacies which by his Testament he had bequeathed were unpaid." The specter further named two persons who each should receive ten shillings, but the young man replied that "the party he last named was dead, and so it could not be paid to him." The Ghost then desired the money be paid to the next relation of that person. Finally, the specter ordered Francis Fey to deliver twenty shillings to a gentleman, sister of the deceased, and promised that "if these things were performed to trouble him no further. The specter spoke of his second wife as a "wicked woman," though she was generally esteemed to be "a very good woman." Having had this conversation with Francis Fey, the specter left.(177 - 178)

After the ghost of his master, Mr. Philip Furze's father appears to the young servant Francis Fey, asking him to fulfill "several Legacies" that had been left unpaid after the death of the ghost, Francis Fey "according to the direction of the Spirit took care to see the small Legacies satisfied." However, the ghost's last request was to carry twenty shillings to "a Gentlewoman, Sister to the deceased,"(Anonymous 412) and she "utterly refused to receive it," as she believed it was sent her "from the Devil." Staying the night at her house, Francis Fey sees the specter again, "whereupon the young man challenged his promise, not to trouble him any more, saying he had performed all according to his appointment," but that the gentlewoman would not take the money. The specter then directed "the young man ride to Totness, and buy for her a Ring of that value," which he believed she would accept. This proved true, and she received the ring. The specter after this, "hath seemed to be at rest, having never given the young man any further trouble."(179)
