  • Case of Margaret Comb

Statements

She went to collect a debt from Elizabeth Scotland and was chased by a black thing. The Devil claimed to be a wealthy man who had lived in Linlithgow and promised to lend her 100 merks, which he failed to do. The Devil shook hands with her and her hand was sore.The project did not check Larner's reference to this case in a printed secondary source as part of the research. The unchecked secondary source indicates a date of 10/5/1680 - possibly an execution? (English)
