Perhaps the most remarkable death
from fear was that of the Dutch paint
er Pentman, who lived in the seven
teenth century. One day he went into
room full of anatomical subjects to
sketch some deaths heads and skele-
tons for a picture he intended to paint
The weather was very sultry, and
while sketching he fell asleep. He
was aroused by bones dancing around
him and the skeletons suspended from
the ceiling clashing together. In fit
of terror he threw himself from win
dow, and, though he sustained no Sc
rious injury and was informed that a
slight earthquake had caused the COM
motion among his ghostly surround
ings, he died in a few days In a
