March 19th.—­A passage in Miss Langton’s private journal under
   this date is as follows:—­

“St. Andrews, March 19th.—­I looked into a water-bottle to-night to see if I could see anything of what was happening at B——.  I distinctly saw room No. 3, and gradually a figure came into view between the two doors (i.e. near the foot of the bed), the figure of a tall woman, dressed in a long clinging robe of grey, and who seemed to be holding something in her hand, against the wall at the foot of the bed.  This became more distinct, and I saw that it was a cross of dark brown wood, some 12 inches long (I should say).  The figure did not appear to move.  I seemed to be standing at the door of No. 3, which opens on to the landing” (cf. pp. 17, 132, 142).

For the information of those not accustomed to the phenomena of crystal-gazing, it may be as well to remark that it is quite possible that the image had been subconsciously seen by Miss Langton when sleeping in No. 3, as deferred impressions are often externalised for the first time in the crystal.  She may equally have received the impression by thought-transference from others.  Certainly she had not been informed of earlier experiences.

   March 20th, Saturday.—­Miss Langton, Miss Moore, and I
   returned to B——­ house.  Four guests arrived in time for dinner.

   Rooms for to-night:—­

    1.  Miss Moore and I.
    2.  Miss Langton.
    3.  Miss “Duff,” a lady whose name is familiar to readers of
       recent records of crystal-gazing and other students of
       the literature of the Psychical Research Society.
    4.  Mr. MacP——.
    5.  Mr. W——.
    8.  Colonel C——.

March 21st, Sunday.—­Last night, about 11.15, after Miss Moore and I were in bed in No. 1, we heard a loud sound from the left-hand side of the fireplace (south-west corner).  It might be imitated by the “giving” of a large tin box (cf. pp. 173, 179).  There was nothing but a footstool and a draped dressing-table there.  We called out to Miss Langton, whom we could hear still moving about.  She said she had heard the noise, but had made none herself.

   Her account is as follows:—­

“Last night (Sunday, March 21st) we retired to bed early, as Miss Moore was leaving by an early train next morning, and I was going to get up in order to see her off.  It was certainly not later than 10.45, when I went to my room, having gone to No. 1 to say good-night to Miss Freer and Miss Moore, who were sleeping that night in that room.  Miss ‘Duff’ was in No. 3, and I was occupying No. 2.  I am not at all nervous, and certainly I was not expecting to see anything, as No. 2 is always supposed to be a ‘quiet’ room.  I was some time getting to bed, but I put out my candle at twelve o’clock, and, after noticing that the moon was shining brightly, I
