e
moving about till after midnight, but we did not attach much
importance to this, as the gardeners may have been to the stoves
(the night was frosty), and there is a right-of-way through the
grounds.

No phenomena.

The servants, we find, are alive to the fact that some one
prowls about at night. The footman, who sleeps downstairs, says
they have tried to frighten him, and things have been thrown at
the kitchen windows. I found it out by the fact that I was
seized by the butler and footman when I went out "prowling" on
Sunday night, fancying I had heard footsteps. They were on the
same errand, and caught me in the dark!

_March 29th, Monday._--To-day Miss Langton and I have been very
busy writing in the library, both silent and occupied. Again and
again have we heard footsteps overhead in No. 8, at intervals
between ten A.M. and one, and again in the evening between six
and seven. No rooms are in use on that side of the house--6, 7,
and 8 are all empty. The rooms below are locked up and
shuttered. At 11.30 we both heard some one moving about outside
on the gravel, but it was too dark a night to see any one.

[_Friday, April 2nd_--An unpleasant light has (possibly) been
thrown on these movements. We find to-day that some one has
killed a sheep in the garden, in a retired spot, taking away the
skin and the meat.]

_March 30th, Tuesday._--No phenomena, except the sound of steps
overhead above the library. For this reason, Miss Langton is
going to sleep in No. 8, where the steps occur.

Mr. and Mrs. M---- came.

[We were particularly glad to welcome Mrs. M---- for other
reasons than the pleasure of her society. She is of Spanish
origin, and a Roman Catholic, and according to previous
evidence, so were other persons upon whom specially interesting
phenomena had been bestowed.]

Mr. B. S---- and Miss V. S----, brother and sister of the owner,
dined with us.

_March 31st, Wednesday._--Mr. and Mrs M---- were put into No. 1.
Both complain of a very sleepless night.

Miss Langton in No. 8 heard sounds after daylight--footsteps
shuffling round the bed, and a knock near the wardrobe. No one
is overhead nor in No. 7, the next room.
