  1. One night in a house where the woman of the house was dying all the neighbours were there and were seated around the fire in the room, when all at once they heard great crying and the sweet sound of music coming all around the house and up inside the bed of the dying woman, and a terrible whirl wind came and after a while she died. Never will the music be forgotten by anyone who heard it.
