ometimes by the space of one day, sometimes for two; and once
they were wholly deprived of their speech for eight days
together and then restored to their speech again. At other times
they would fall into swoonings, and upon the recovery to their
speech they would cough extremely, and bring up much phlegm, and
with the same crooked pins, and one time a two-penny nail with a
very broad head, which pins (amounting to forty or more)
together with the two-penny nail, were produced in court, with
the affirmation of the said deponent, that he was present when
the said nail was vomited up, and also most of the pins.
Commonly at the end of every fit they would cast up a pin, and
sometimes they would have four or five fits in one day.

In this manner the said children continued with this deponent

them ten times more than ever they did before.

In their fits they would cry out, There stands Amy Duny or Rose
Cullender; and sometimes in one place and sometimes in another
running with great violence to the place where they fancied them
to stand, striking at them as if they were present; they would
appear to them sometimes spinning, and sometimes reeling, or in
other postures, deriding or threatening them.
