Entry 58
I wouldn't want to speak ill of the dead, for I think they know what you are saying. My reason is, they can come back and give so many Warnings. These Warnings come mostly in your sleep. I have heard something about a man that was buried. This man kept on coming back to his family and asking them in a dream to take him up out of that grave, so finally they went and took him up, and the coffin was in water. They took him up and put him in a dry place, and they never saw him again.
Entry 59
I have tried to see my father's spirit ever since he died. I tried to draw him to me but I have never been able to do it. I'll tell you what I have seen. Sometimes I go to bed and I am warned in a dream - of any man or woman who is about to approach - by my father. However, I never hear his voice, but I see him in this dream.
Entry 60
Yo' dress that bed - specialiy when yore dead people come to yo' an' start to tell you somepin an' yo' wake befo' they tell you. Yo' take two matches an' cross them like that - stick a needle through it and lay it underneat' chure pillah with de point turned down, an' they'll come back an' finish tellin' you what he was tellin' you.
