Late in the afternoon, the spirit mat was spread in the yard near to the tangpap, and the mediums began summoning the spirits.  The first to come was Mamabeyan, an Igorot spirit for whom the people showed the utmost contempt.  They guyed him, threw dirty water on his body, and in other ways insulted him, until in his fury he tried to climb the house posts to punish a group of girls, the worst offenders, but men and women rushed up with sticks and clubs, and drove him back.  After a time he calmed down, and going to a bound pig, he addressed it as “a pretty lady,” and tried to caress it.

While this clown spirit was amusing the crowd, a second medium brought out ten coconut shells, one of which was filled with blood and rice.  These she placed on a winnower, which in turn was set on a rice-mortar.  Soon the spirit Ilongbosan entered her body, and commanded the son of the patient to take some of the blood and rice from the one dish, place it in all the others, and then put it back again, “for when the spirits make a man sick, they take part of his life, and when they make him well, they put it back.  So the boy takes a part of the blood and rice away, and gives it to the spirits, then puts it back.”  The spirit was followed, by Gilen, who bade the lad take hold of one side of the winnower, while he held the other.  Raising it in the air, they danced half way round the mortar, then retraced their steps.  “This is because the spirits only partially took the life away.  Now they put it back.”  As they finished dancing, Gilen struck his spear against the boy’s head-axe and departed.

The medium, now with her own personality, leaned a shield against the rice-mortar, and in the [Lambda] thus formed she hung a small bundle of rice and a burning cord, while over the whole she spread a fish net.  Scarcely had she completed this task, when she was possessed by the spirit of Kibayen, this being walked round and round the net, seeking for an opening, but without success.  Later the medium explained, “The rice and fire represent the woman’s life, which the spirit wishes to take; but she cannot, since she is unable to pass through the fish net.”

The next visitor was Yangayang, who began to boast of his power to make persons ill.  Suddenly the medium fell to the ground in convulsions, and then stretched out in a dead faint.  The writer examined her closely, but could not detect her breathing.  After a moment, the second medium seized a rooster and waved it over the prostrate form, while an old man gave a sharp stroke on a gong close to her head.  The medium awoke from her faint and thus “the death was frightened away.”

Mamonglo, who had been present during the morning, returned for a moment to again rub the family and guests with his lead sinker.  While he was thus engaged, the second medium was possessed by Baniyat, a female who made a bit of fun by trying to steal the beads of the young girls, “so the men would love her.”  Several times she tried to scale the house ladder, but was always repulsed, and each failure was greeted with jeers and ridicule.
