My own experiences to-day were confined to ejection from a high waggonette, while waiting at the station for Mr. "Z——," the horse having bolted at the appearance of the train.
No phenomena. We are putting Mr. "Z——", at his own request, in No. 3, the "ghost-room."
February 23rd, Tuesday.—Pouring wet. No phenomena. Visit to glen impossible.
Mr. and Mrs. R—— (local residents) came to lunch. Though in great pain I was able to see them for a few minutes, and both inquired whether we had had any experience of the reported hauntings, of which, however, they could give us no details.
February 24th, Wednesday.—Mr. "Z——" left early. (N.B.—No phenomena reported by any one during his visit; he himself slept soundly in the "haunted" room, but does it the justice to acknowledge that he "could sleep through an earthquake.")
Miss "N." (the daughter of a landowner of the district) arrived.
Mr. Garford (an old friend and excellent observer) came from London. We sleep to-night as follows:—
In the wing, in the two rooms alleged by guests of the H——s to be haunted, the Colonel and Mr. "Endell."
| No. | 1. Mr. Garford. |
| " | 3. Mr. "Q." ("ghost-room"; he has just asked to be removed from his former room in the wing). |
| " | 4. Miss Langton. |
| " | 5. Mrs. W——. |
| " | 7. Miss "N." |
| " | 8. Miss Moore, myself, and dog. |
February 25th, Thursday.—Mr. "Endell" reported this morning having heard a sound he could in no way account for, which seems to us to correspond with the "clanging" noise. We asked how he would imitate it as to volume and quality, and he said that a large iron kettle, about the size of the dinner-table (we are dining eight), boiling violently, so that the lid was constantly "wobbling," might produce it.
