Mrs. Wentworth had now an opportunity to hear the voice of Lydia and the voice of the Spectre in the same time and place, that she might have the best advantage to judge whether or not there was the least agreement between them. And that Lydia had never learned to utter two voices in the same minute, the one her natural voice, the other the dying voice of this woman’s sister, appears from the certainty that through all the time of the Spectre’s last sickness and death, Lydia was two hundred miles distant from her. When Mrs. Wentworth heard in the east room that sentence of the ghost, “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness;” this was the only time in which the ghost uttered these words for that day, as several witnesses (nem. con.) declare. Hence it follows that this was the exact minute when Captain Simson, in the cellar, within eight feet of the voice, and free from deafness, heard only a sound, while they who stood by him understood the words plainly. (Compare this with a sentence in Test. 4, 2d part.) The reality of the token appears from the undoubted veracity of Mrs. W., her inflexible opposition and the oath of Capt. Butler, the reputed dupe of the whole business. * * * * * TESTIMONY VII. _Testimony of Mr. Jeremiah Bunker._ On August 9, 1800, I went to Mr. Blaisdel’s, where there were about twelve people. After hearing the discourse of the Spectre, she appeared before us and disappeared several times. She came close by me and three or four others several times, so that each of us could have handled her. The personal shape, when it disappeared, first changed to a substance, without form, and then vanished in a moment where it was: and after a short space, the full personal form appeared again in a moment. These changes I observed several times. I thought then and ever since that the whole was a deception. For I cannot see how there could be such a clear personal shape, where no living person was. She was in the shape of a person as much as any person could be.
