Thorhall went out to the cattle and found them goring each other with
their horns. To get out of their way, he went through into the barn,
and in doing this he saw the cattleman lying on his back with his head
in one stall and his feet in another. He went up to him and felt him
and soon found that he was dead, with his back broken over the upright
stone between two of the stalls.
"The yeoman thought it high time to leave the place now, and fled from
his farm with all that he could remove. All the live-stock that he
left behind was killed by Glam, who then went through the whole glen
and laid waste all the farms up from Tongue.
"Thorhall spent the rest of the winter with various friends. No one
could go up into the glen with horse or dog, for these were killed at
once; but when spring came again and the days began to lengthen,
Glam's walkings grew less frequent, and Thorhall determined to return
to his homestead. He had difficulty in getting servants, but managed
to set up his home again at Thorhall-stead. Things went just as
before. When autumn came, the hauntings began again, and now it was
the yeoman's daughter who was most assailed, till in the end she died
of fright.
