It was on July 4, 1910, that John Randall, who is a carpenter by trade, went to live at Enniscorthy, and took rooms with the Redmonds.  In a signed statement, now in possession of Professor Barrett, he tells a graphic tale of what occurred each night during the three weeks he lodged in the house, and as a result of the poltergeist’s attentions he lost three-quarters of a stone in weight.  It was on the night of Thursday, July 7, that the first incident occurred, when the bedclothes were gently pulled off his bed.  Of course he naturally thought it was a joke, and shouted to his companions to stop.  As no one could explain what was happening, a match was struck, and the bedclothes were found to be at the window, from which the other bed (a large piece of furniture which ordinarily took two people to move) had been rolled just when the clothes had been taken off Randall’s bed.  Things were put straight and the light blown out, “but,” Randall’s account goes on to say, “it wasn’t long until we heard some hammering in the room—­tap-tap-tap-like.  This lasted for a few minutes, getting quicker and quicker.  When it got very quick, their bed started to move out across the room....  We then struck a match and got the lamp.  We searched the room thoroughly, and could find nobody.  Nobody had come in the door.  We called the man of the house (Redmond); he came into the room, saw the bed, and told us to push it back and get into bed (he thought all the time one of us was playing the trick on the other).  I said I wouldn’t stay in the other bed by myself, so I got in with the others; we put out the light again, and it had only been a couple of minutes out when the bed ran out on the floor with the three of us.  Richard struck a match again, and this time we all got up and put on our clothes; we had got a terrible fright and couldn’t stick it any longer.  We told the man of the house we would sit up in the room till daylight.  During the time we were sitting in the room we could hear footsteps leaving the kitchen and coming up the stairs; it would stop on the landing outside the door, and wouldn’t come into the room.  The footsteps and noises continued through the house until daybreak.”

The next night the footsteps and noises were continued, but the unfortunate men did not experience any other annoyance.  On the following day the men went home, and it is to be hoped they were able to make up for all the sleep they had lost on the two previous nights.  They returned on the Sunday, and from that night till they finally left the house the men were disturbed practically every night.  On Monday, 11th July the bed was continually running out from the wall with its three occupants.  They kept the lamp alight, and a chair was seen to dance gaily out into the middle of the floor.  On the following Thursday we read of the same happenings, with the addition that one of the boarders was lifted out of the bed, though he felt no hand near him.  It seems strange that they should have gone through such a
