did not hear anything.

"There are no stairs coming down to the bedroom storey where I
thought I heard footsteps.

"The rapping was not in any way an alarming noise.

"On Saturday night 'Ouija' had said that I was not to be
disturbed that night, so I was 'not expecting.' It also stated
that Nos. 3 and 8 were the rooms that 'the Major' occupied."

_March 8th, Monday._--Mr. C---- left early. He has promised to
write of any experience last night, as he was gone before we
were up. Colonel Taylor is still in No. 3; he has heard nothing,
but this is perhaps the less evidential, that, although a
frequent visitor to haunted houses, he has never had any
experience.

We are still in No. 8, in which we have had a sufficient number
of experiences to make us anxious to distribute responsibility
by handing it over to another sensitive at the earliest
possibility. Miss Langton has hitherto slept in No. 4, in which
she was put on her first arrival, except for the three nights
she was in No. 2, with companionship in the adjacent rooms.
There seems to be no object in the Colonel remaining in No. 3,
as he is unlikely to see or hear anything, and as soon as that
side of the house is quite emptied she proposes to go into No.
1, as we are anxious to discover whether her experience will
corroborate that of Miss Moore, myself, Mrs. B. C----, Mr.
Garford, and the maids, as to the sound of voices.

_March 9th, Tuesday._--Mr. C---- writes this morning in regard
to Sunday night: "_March 8th._--... Last night I was not so much
disturbed, but I awoke at 3.10, and did not sleep after that. I
had exactly the same sensation as on the previous night, that
whenever I was going to sleep something woke me. At 5.20 I heard
three noises very close together, but they were very distant,
and sounded from the direction of your room" (No. 8).

_March 10th, Wednesday._--I awoke about 5.30, and lay awake
reading. I had drawn the blinds up, but kept the candle in as
long as it was required. At intervals between twenty minutes to
six o'clock and ten minutes past I heard the sounds
characteristic of No. 8., viz., footsteps of a man, and
pattering of a dog. Miss Moore awoke, and heard the later
sounds. About 6.10 we both heard the thud, which seems to occur
generally beyond the wardrobe nearer the door
