Further Comments: An innkeeper's son would frequently spot a ghostly, well-dressed woman along the lanes of this town.

After telling the woman he could not make the journey, she whisked him into the air and took him to the Philadelphian house. After recovering the box, the man was then taken to the Dead Sea where he cast the box into the water, before finally being returned home.
