John Tonken alleges that the Old Witch (Anonymous 6) appears to him repeatedly before his vomiting fits, sometimes in the form of a cat and once in the form of a mouse; she often predicts what he will vomit. He is often heard to beg her to make him well, or demand her name and where she lives, but she will not tell him. For lack of another name, he calls her Old Witch.(3, 4, 5)

John Tonken allegedly suffers from fits in which he vomits strange objects that begin after a woman (Anonymous 6) in a blue jerkin and a red petticoat with yellow and green patches visits him; Tonken is the only person who can see or hear her, and she tell him that he will not be well until he vomits nutshells, pins, and nails. Soon after, he begins retching so hard two men can hardly hold him up and vomits up three pins and half a walnut shell.(2)
