- There once lived a woman in the parish of Glenflesk. When she died she would not leave any stranger sleep in her bed. Once there was a servant boy in the house who slept in the bed and as he was sleeping a foxy woman stood over him. She was looking very angry and she caught the boy and threw him inside the bed. He took no notice as he thought he was dreaming but when he awoke next morning he found himself inside the bed.
