            The next item is an "urban legend" by an informant who wishes to remain anonymous, concerning a woman from inverness County who claimed to be visited by her late mother-in-law who exhorted her to fulfill a promise the deceased had made.

            Archie Neil Chisholm recounts the "personal legend" of a nursing sister who communicated with another nurse who had died in an accident at the hospital where they both worked.

            Allan Mac Dougall's story concerns a "forerunner" that came back to make a request about its grave.

            The next account of a "forerunner" is by Winnie Chafe, who describes how unexplained lights in a house foretold of an impending death in the family.

            Reverend J.A. Rankin recounts another "forerunner" tale involving a coal miner who heeds a warning but cannot escape the consequences.

            Jim St. Clair relates a "local legend" from Mabou involving fairies who mete out reward and punishment to humans who interfere with their singing.

            Mr. St. Clair's next narrative is a "supernatural legend" involving Thomas Grieves, who must flee Scotland after inadvertantly killing his employer.

            Side B: Mr. St. Clair continues his story about Grieves, who makes his way to Cape Breton, only to be followed by a mysterious black dog, which Grieves believes is the devil. When Grieves died, the dog appeared at the grave, and according to Mr. St. Clair the dog's howl can still be heard to this day on the road between Mill Cove and Glencoe.
