Summary

A man's spirit left his body while he slept, and then came back.

Three friends went fishing on different parts of a river. One fell asleep on the bank after eating his lunch. His friends could not waken him. Then they saw a beast crawl up his stomach, over his chest and into his mouth. Then he awoke. His spirit had left him while he slept and had come back.

Lucy Stewart heard this story from her parents.
