Summary
Psalm singing heard a fortnight before a death.
Roderick MacKillop's mother was frightened when his father was away fishing. He and his brother would sleep with her during these times. His uncle lived at the other end of the house. One night his mother said she could hear psalm singing at the door. She named the psalm and the precentor. Two weeks later his uncle died and the same psalm was precented by the same man. This was the only time she ever mentioned anything like that.
