movement towards the door, but before she reached it she had
vanished. I was not at all frightened, as there was nothing at
all alarming in her appearance. I cannot write a better
description of her, as the vision was so short. The figure was
the same as that I had seen at the burn, only very much
clearer."

Miss "Duff" writes under this date March 21st:--"On my arrival
yesterday I was shown to my room (No. 3), which I had selected,
with Miss Freer's permission, as one said to have an evil
reputation. Perhaps it was natural that a feeling 'as if I were
not alone' should come over me, and needless to say there was no
_apparent_ cause for this!

"As a rule I am a very sound sleeper, nothing ever disturbs me;
but last night I was suddenly wide awake, as if roused by
something unusual. I sat up quickly in bed, but suddenly
remembering where I was, I waited expectantly. Nothing occurred,
although I did not get to sleep again for about two hours."

_March 22nd, Monday._--Mr. MacP---- was awakened between four

being reputed innocuous, and which, save in one slight instance, I had
hitherto found to deserve its reputation. My repeated visits had
eliminated any expectancy which may at first have, perhaps, existed.

"My bed was alongside the south wall of my room, and parallel to the
corridor or passage, my head towards No. 5, and my feet towards No. 3.

"As often happened at B----, I awoke from a sound slumber, not by
degrees, but in a moment. There was no transition--no half-awakening,
but full and complete consciousness all at once. I struck a light,
looked at my watch, found it was 4.30, and went to sleep again
immediately. I then wakened slowly and gradually, hearing more and
more clearly a noise which appeared to me to be the cause of my
awakening. The noise was the kind of sound which is produced by a
person walking rapidly with one
