Even the publishers were taken by surprise when a book which they had hoped might possibly sell ten thousand copies became a best seller overnight, keeping their presses busy turning out over 170,000 copies. I have not rad the book myself, although I have read the excerpts from it in the daily papers and I counted myself fortunate to hear the recording when Old Rawhide played it last month on his program. But this sudden noise and commotion about people speaking from beyond the grave (or beyond the womb—whichever way you want to look at it) pricked my memory. ' j'his business of life after death now, it frets us all, be we Christian, Moslem or Buddhist, and when somebody comes along with a book of this nature it seems as if all the grafters and chisellers and cheaters have to jump on the wagon too—there's money to' be r'zade and they want in. . The odd twist to all this'is that Mr. Bernstein, who wrote the ' book, sincerely believes that his hypnotic subject, "Ruth Simmons," really is a reincarnation of a nineteenth century Irishwoman, the petty grifters are claiming that Bridey Murphy is a "spirit guide" and that she can speak through others besides Ruth Simmons. We are all set for a revival of phony spiritualism with its bell ringing, flashing lights and ectoplasm. From that to ghosts is such a short step, but ghosts are very capricious creatures, even more so than "spirit guides." Do you believe in ghosts? No? Well neither do I, but it might surprise you to learn that the British Army does, very sincerely. During World War II a whole section of the filing system of a certain headquarters in England was devoted to "Ghosts, manifestation of." It all started with a house known as "St. Mary's Grange." It was an old house, steeped in antiquity. Built long before the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, ithad once been a convent, but with the dissolution of the monasteries had become a private house. It was occupied more or less continuously until the start of the war when the army authorities requisitioned it to' provide accommodation for members of the newly formed ATS. It was not long before the girls began to complain of rats, and an official army rat-catcher :as despatched to the house to dispose of the menace. He ecked the house care - f �fu fu ly all, thoroug ly and then reporthat there were no ?:the batt µY „ ,•�,., Still the - cam:' , tattle` in 'ail a v` '4cld-fact Public Spc01zin9 C©ntor4. o A G public speaking contest will be held in the Forrest er's Hall next 0 0 rnhane Poe Office) Hours.—Auburn Post lee Daylight Saving Time sehe- emerged. 4+1 ?peg girls said_ e. ening.--_-:The i saw,. or ug thoht the fv.T e rats, on Ofertireti1ar staff se' that ran up through the centre of th(r mees-hen yu stioned,, .� the girls said, no they hadn't actually SEEN any rats, but when they went up the stairs there was always something grey going up just ahead of them just round the bend of the- .- stairs. None of them were local girls and indeed, the Grange had never sustained a reputation for being haunted. Still, the girls were troubled and an investigation was launched. It was found that, over a hundred years before, the house had had a reputation for a quiet haunting. In that earlier time, when all women wore long skirts, the haunting was described as "a woman's grey skirt going up the winding stairs—however fast you ran you could never catch up with the woman," It had been assumed then, that the skirt belonged to the ghost of a nun who had Lived there in the fifteenth century. Well, that was the beginning. From then on a positive rash of hauntings broke out. One house had a "sad room" where no one could sleep the night. Girls would go up to the room—a small room under .the roof—to sleep, but would be downstairs again within the hour. sobbing as if their hearts would break and unable to explain why. That room was eventually sealed up. Another house, occupied by a company of Signal Corps girls, telephone operators and coding staff, was honored by a phantom coach and horses that drove up to the front of the house ,every night at sundown. The odd thing about this haunting was that it was only ever seen by people actually living in the house. A visitor standing at the same window would see and hear nothing. The girls, being stouthearted types, treated it all as a huge joke and talked of "laying on the phantom coach" when their transport was late arriving to take them to work. But of all these haunted houses, the most spectacular of all failed the army dismally. Longford Castle, where most of the girls worked, was reputed to be haunted by the ghost of Anne Boleyn with her head tucked underneath her arm. But although the girls waited faithfully night -after night, the lady never appeared. Perhaps she resented the feminine intrusion into the castle' where she had flaunted her spectral charms unchallenged for so long. How do I know about all this? Hah! I was there • See you next week!
