what
we had seen or expected, ascertain whether she saw the phantasm
in its usual position (high up on the bank), or a good deal
farther to the left, and nearer the burn, as I had done. By the
time she arrived it was much darker, but she saw the figure
under the tree by the brook, and described it as "kneeling." She
has better sight than I, and believed it to be behind Mr.
"Endell." I should have judged her to be crouching or stooping
in front of him, but judging from comparison of our normal
sight, she is much more likely to be accurate than I.

Mr. "Endell's" separately recorded account, dated March 5, exactly
agrees with this, but adds some additional touches to the latter part.

"At Miss Freer's suggestion, I fetched Miss Langton, telling her
nothing of what had occurred, but merely that we were trying an
experiment, and she was to report what she saw.

"I stood again under the sapling. This time I began to shudder almost

collar though I was only ten yards from them.

"Miss Langton said that thirty seconds after I had taken up my
position, the figure appeared behind me a little to my left, and
seemed to raise its arm. Miss Freer said it was waiting for me, and
touched me as before.

"I felt no touch throughout, only shiverings that seemed to coincide
with appearances."

To-night Miss "N." wishes to sleep in No. 3, and Miss Langton
will remain in No. 2; the door of communication can be opened
between them.

_March 2nd, Tuesday._--This morning I was reading in bed by
candlelight from 5.30 to 6 o'clock, and again heard the
pattering sound which has become familiar to us in No. 8. Miss
Moore was asleep, but happened to awake while the sound was
specially distinct, and without speaking signified that she was
giving it her attention. Shortly after six we heard the sound of
a violent fall about the middle of the west wall, between the
fireplace and window. Our first thought was that one of the
maids upstairs must have fallen, till we remembered that there
was no room above us. We have since inquired, and find that none
of them moved till nearly seven o'clock, nor was anything heard
either by them or by Mr. Garford, whose room (No. 1) joins our
west wall.[D]

Miss "N." passed a very disturbed night. She went to bed about
twelve o'clock; she is habitually an excepti
