I actually jotted down a brief verbatim account of our customers' words, because i was so interested in what he told me. Here it is, and it was obvious that he definitely blamed his second wife for the introduction of the night-hag: "This happened when I was married to my second wife. Two times a window was left open and it shouldn't have been and each time somthing came through and the second time was worse than the first, and then things happened in my life: Hag-riding. I've been hag-rid, couldn't go to sleep at night, afraid to sleep because of being hag-rid." This belief -- that night-hags enter through open windows while you sleep -- was also told to me in the 1950s by my German-Jewish mother, although she gave it as a folk-tale, not believing it herself, yet not mocking it either. The man cited above was African-American. It's a very widespread belief and i personally have no reason to think it is fiction, because a great many people report similar experiences. So if one WANTED to invite a night-hag, i think that sleeping with open windows would be a good choice. cat yronwode
