2354 | A man from Burton upon Trent in the county of Staffordshire, who takes up residence in a house after a Tenant (Anonymous 2) decides to leave it because of many strange occurrences, including the moving of food, the death of cattle, and mysterious fires, in order to confront the "Hagg" who is responsible for this witchcraft. John Jones is described as "a valiant Welchman of the neighborhood." He brings with him "a large Baskethilted Sword, a Mastive Dog and a Lanthorn and Candle." However, having not lain long with his dog and sword ready, he heard a great knocking at the door of his chamber, upon which as "many Cats as he conceived" came into his rooms, broke the windows, and made a "hideous noise." This causes the dog to howl and quake with fear, and creep closer to John Jones when the candle goes out. John Jones falls "into a cold sweat," and leaving his sword unused, exits the house running "half a Mile without ever looking behind him." The following day, he claims that "he would not ley another night in the House for a hundred pounds."(4 - 5)
