HULL

SOME years ago, I worked in a drug warehouse with a labourer, Mr. T.

(since dead), who had a supernatural experience. He and his wife and

family moved into a house which had been empty a long time. The

removal took place after he left his day's work, and the beds were

hastily improvised for the night. He and his wife were awakened by a

crash, which sounded just over the bed head. Both simultaneously

asked: “Did you hear that noise?” Mr. T. arose next morning to go

downstairs to make the fire, and, from the top of the stairs, saw the

figure of a woman sitting on the bottom step nursing a child. The

apparition faded away as he reached the bottom. He dared not mention

it to his wife, but he found another residence, and left the house

the same week. Subsequent inquiries revealed the fact that there had

been a murder committed in the house.
