Q A creepy story of a haunted country house has come to light, the circum- stances of which are to be investigat- ed by the Psychical Research Society. The house was taken over for a fort, - night by a party of wealthy London people, • After they had been in the house a week concerts in the form of violent bell ringing commenced and oontinued until the occupants left. On one occasion a visible hand was seen. to pull the bell, but it was not the hand of any human person in the. house. At dinner time the concerts began with a violent peal, involving at least four bells, and this was con- tinued at short intervals for quite an • hour and a half. The whole house- hold was so upset by the disturbances that it was found necessary to move the children from one room to another where they were at a greet distance fro the disturbances. The bells* rang out at midnight, and pealed for two hou s on one or two occasions. • Th occupants of the house saw the bell-pu in the r swaying, heard the tug o • re in the wall, and • from the movements of the handles in Clinton but all over the rung.
