Hello list,

The following is from The Daily Courier, a local newspaper from Perth, 
Scotland:

"It was a Mrs. Hall and her daughter Mary, the occupants of South Lodge at 
Keithmick who had the biggest shock and the narrowest escape.  Mrs. Hall 
reported hearing an inexplicable noise worse than thunder more like a 
terrific cannonading.  Then a double knock at the door which when opened 
revealed nothing. Mary then climbed on to the roof to find a gaping hole and 
a stone weighitn two and a half pounds in the attic."

Thanks to Michael Morne for providing the above quote and the postcard 
showing the house damage, linked below.
