Tam spurs Meg to turn and flee and drives the horse on towards the River Doon as the creatures dare not cross a running stream. Immediately, the lights go out, the music and dancing stops and many of the creatures lunge after Tam, with the witches leading.
The witches are dancing as the music intensifies and, upon seeing one particularly wanton witch in a short dress he loses his reason and shouts, 'Weel done, cutty-sark!' ("cutty-sark": short shirt). He is still drunk, still upon his horse, just on the edge of the light, watching, amazed to see the place bedecked with many gruesome things such as gibbet irons and knives that had been used to commit murders and other macabre artifacts. On the way he sees the local haunted church lit up, with witches and warlocks dancing and the Devil playing the bagpipes.
At the conclusion of one such late-night revel after a market day, Tam rides home on his horse Meg/Maggie while a storm is brewing.
