Entry 7508
I have often times hear, that if you kill a man and it is not proven that you killed him, and you really did kill him, and you go in his presence, and his eyes being shut and he is dead, you take an eye prop and open this man's eyes with the eye prop. And the last man that was in his presence of the dead man, his picture will be in the eyes of the dead man. [This belief known everywhere, see Fayetteville, N. Car., No.94, p.37.]
