the Devil if he can it is very remarkable that from this time they had no more disturbance in the Family But Isabel Murray reports divers other particulars of this Apparition as that when she saw it first the face was as black as soot and that she once saw her walking in the Garden and taking up something from the ground saying a stone a stone and gathering a great number of small stones into her Cap she threw them down under a bush which some think were the stones that were thrown in the night The woman took the courage to speak to her and said Hey what dost thou do here Isabel Heriot I charge thee by the Law thou lives on to tell me The Spectre replyed I am now come again because I wronged my Master while I was his Servant for it was I that stole his Shekel this was a Jewish Shekel of Gold that with some other things had been stoln from him several years before which I hid under the Hearth-stone in the Kitchen and when I fled I took it up and offered to sell it to a French woman who lodged in the Canongate where I then served who askt where I had it I told her I found it between Leith and Edenburgh One night says she I was riding home late from the Town and by the way my Horse stumbling I said the Devil raise thee whereupon the foul Thief appeared presently to me and threatned me that if I would not promise to destroy my Master the Minister he would throw me into a deep hole there which I suppose is still to be seen near a place called the Fauside Brae or if I could not get power over my Master I should endeavour to destroy the School-Master It is very remarkable that one of the Ministers Maids had given to the School-Masters Maid some Linnen to wash among which was a cross-cloth of strong Linnen which could not be found till one morning the Master awaking found it bound round his Night-cap which caused admiration both in himself and wife and shewed that the Devil nor the Witch had no further power of him though it is probable they designed to strangle him therewith in the night Isabel Heriot or her Ghost confest likewise that the Devil met her a second time at Elsiston Mill within a quarter of a mile of Ormiston and that as she another time was coming home from Hadington Market with Corn the Devil again appeared to her and bid her destroy Thomas Anderson who was riding with her and because she refused the Daemon threw the Corn off the Horse and it is well known that her Corn lay there all night and she went early next morning to fetch it home And says she I cheated my Master when I went to the Market to buy Oats by telling him it cost more than it did and do not you remember Isabel Murray says she that one night coming out of the Ministers house you had a sore blow on the back with a stone it was I that did it yet not for your own sake but your husbands who once threw me down and abused me After this Conference the woman began to be afraid and leaving the Spectre came running home with all speed This Isabel Heriot was never reputed a Witch nor accused by any but was very ignorant in Religion and travelled oft in the night But this Disturbance and Apparition after her death made it believed that it was either her real body acted by the Devil or else Satan taking upon him her shape and form and imitating her to the life which seems most probable Invisib World. p. 144.
