1. The detail about Briggs Beall that seems to exaggerate in the story is that he presumes that he stops breathing in the middle of the night, all of a sudden.

- Sarah Shoaf, was fearful that a burglar would somehow spray her room with chloroform and steal her valuables. To avoid being affected by the chemical, she’d stack up all her valuables outside her room with a note to the supposed burglar that this is all she possesses, hence take it and leave.
- Gracie Shoaf, too had a similar phobia of burglar attacking her house, in response to which she would through her footwear in the middle of the night. This she was doing for the last forty years.
