“I felt no touch throughout, only shiverings that seemed to coincide with appearances.”

   To-night Miss “N.” wishes to sleep in No. 3, and Miss Langton
   will remain in No. 2; the door of communication can be opened
   between them.

March 2nd, Tuesday.—­This morning I was reading in bed by candlelight from 5.30 to 6 o’clock, and again heard the pattering sound which has become familiar to us in No. 8.  Miss Moore was asleep, but happened to awake while the sound was specially distinct, and without speaking signified that she was giving it her attention.  Shortly after six we heard the sound of a violent fall about the middle of the west wall, between the fireplace and window.  Our first thought was that one of the maids upstairs must have fallen, till we remembered that there was no room above us.  We have since inquired, and find that none of them moved till nearly seven o’clock, nor was anything heard either by them or by Mr. Garford, whose room (No. 1) joins our west wall.[D]

Miss “N.” passed a very disturbed night.  She went to bed about twelve o’clock; she is habitually an exceptionally good sleeper, and, moreover, has slept in many rooms alleged to be haunted without the slightest inconvenience, and has never had an “experience” of any sort.  She lay awake in discomfort till 3 A.M., and then sought refuge with Miss Langton.

   Miss “N.” left.  The following is the record of her
   impressions:—­

“March 4th.—­You ask me to write exactly what I felt in No. 3 when I slept there on March 1st.  Well, it is rather difficult to describe!  I never felt frightened out of my wits at nothing before, if it was nothing.  I certainly saw no shadows or figures, and the only noise I heard was the thud twice, which sounded as if it came from the storey below.  If I shut my eyes for a minute I felt as if I was struggling with something invisible (not indigestion, as I never have it!).  I was so paralysed that I dare not call out to Miss Langton, and lay awake from twelve to three without moving!  In the morning, of course, I felt I had been a fool to be so silly, and I would go and sleep there again to-night if I had the chance.”

   Mrs. B. C——­ came.  She is an Associate S.P.R., is a Highlander,
   has been all her life interested in psychical matters, but has
   had no “experience.”

Mr.  “Endell,” Miss Moore, and I sat up in No. 3 till about 2.30 in the dark, except for the firelight, and in silence, except when any one wished to draw the attention of the rest to sounds or sensations.  There were no sounds for which, on reflection, we found it impossible to account.  Mr.  “Endell” suffered, as on previous occasions, from the sensation known as “cold-air,” and very visibly shivered, though clearly not in the least nervous.  He is keenly interested in psychical inquiry, but has
