The editors have obtained from the Nunnery, where she lived and died, a photograph, representing the dress of the Community, and a description of herself, which is as follows:—­

“She died 23rd February 1880, quickly, of an attack of pneumonia or acute bronchitis.  She died a most edifying death, in perfect consciousness, assisted by the Confessor ... and the Community around her, and having received the last Sacraments only a few hours before she expired.  As to her appearance, she was short, rather fair, not at all stout, but not extraordinarily thin.

“She entered the Community in April 1848, was clothed in May 1849, and professed May 1850.  We do not know whether she could speak Gaelic.  She was very fond of Scotland, and very particular about the pronunciation of Scotch names.  She was a most entertaining companion, being full of natural wit.”

The dress, which is dignified, is very peculiar and striking, and not the least like the very ordinary nun’s attire in which the phantom appeared, while it would be difficult to imagine a greater contrast than that between the merry old lady of the description and the weeping girl so often seen.

There was, however, at least one very peculiar reason, which will be noticed presently, for supposing that this phantom was really intended to represent the late Rev. Mother Frances Helen, and that its inaccuracy was owing to the stupid, and rather melodramatic misconception in the mind which originally imagined it and transferred it to the witnesses at B——.

This is our arrangement for to-night:—­

Room 1 (where we heard noises).  Mr. F——.
" 2.  Dressing-room communicating with Nos. 1 and 3; doors
opened between.
" 3.  Mr. L. F——­ (specially “haunted").
" 4.  Mr. MacP——.
" 5.  Mr. W——.
" 6.  Dressing-room, Miss Moore.
" 7.  Myself.
" 8.  Mr. C——. (Sounds alleged, see evidence.)
N.B.—­Nothing is alleged against 4 and 5.

February 7th, Sunday.—­Miss Moore was awakened this morning soon after one o’clock by a loud reverberating bang, which seemed close to her bed.  She lay awake for a long time afterwards, but the sound was not repeated.  The men heard nothing.  They report that they went to bed soon after eleven, and very quietly.

My maid, who has had to give up her room, slept downstairs last night.  She was kept awake nearly all night by noises and footsteps.  The wing is not yet fit for use, as all the pipes are frozen, and the only downstairs bedroom was insufficiently aired; so I told her to use that for dressing, and make herself up a bed on one of the sitting-room sofas, and she slept (or rather, lay awake) in the drawing-room.  She was not frightened, as she thought all the noises were made by the gentlemen; but they declare they made no noise.

I asked her as to the other servants.  She says the maids are still very nervous.
