Malcolm, many thanks for that info. Legman cited an article in a 1958 journal of the EFDSS, but curiously seemed unaware of the article you cite. Clearly, he was wrong in referring to the Bell MSS as the oldest text, but his main point stands - and, it seems, closer to his earlier stipulated meaning of 'devil' rather than 'ghost' in light of the text posted by Bruce.
