  • Case of Bessie Miller

Statements

I think she was a neighbourhood dispute person who got caught up in the 1699 Refrewshire possession cases. See Agnes Supp for description of the tormenting/possesion.Denounced by Margaret Laird in Paisley, a girl who claimed to be tormented by witches. Laird denounced many people while in fits. Most of the witness testimony was given in Paisley (19-21 April 1699) and it came from people who witnessed Laird's fits and denunciations among other things. (English)
