from The Secret Commonwalth of Elves, Faunes and Fairies by the Reverend Robert Kirk 1691
the first whereof shall be of the Woman taken out of her childbed and having lingering image of her substituted bodie in her roome, which resemblance decay'd dy'd and was bur'd

Among other reports she gave her husband, she said she perceived little what they did in the spacious house she lodgd in untill she anointed one of her eyes with a certain unction that was by her; which they perceaving to have acquainted her with their actions, they fain'd her blind of that eye with a puff of their breath.
She found the place full of Light, without any fountain or lamp from whence it did spring.
