[1] In the March number of the Psychical Research Magazine for 1908, a well-authenticated instance is given of a Poltergeist’s hand being seen on a pillow—“a long hand with knotty joints.”

[2] A solution as to the nature of this type of ghost will appear in a subsequent volume.

[3] All names altered by request.

[4] The different styles of writing in the following are due to certain alterations I have been obliged to make, the English of the original being so involved in places as to be nearly unintelligible.

[5] In a subsequent volume I have attempted to give a satisfactory solution.

[6] A more thorough solution to these hauntings will appear in a subsequent volume.

[7] (Probably 1780.—Ed.)
