The whole matter of the inquiry had been made known to Mr. "Z----," the proprietor of a prominent Scottish newspaper, of course in the strictest confidence, which was carefully made a condition of the admission of any one to the house, a confidence which he most honourably observed. It was arranged that if anything occurred within the observation of himself or his son, the scientific value of which rendered it, in their judgment, desirable to publish a notice of it in _The ----_, the notice should be published under avowedly false names and geographical indications. Mr. "Z----" was unable to come himself, but his son arrived this day. Mr. "Endell" (a Member of the S.P.R.) arrived while we were out, and made a tour of inspection alone of the outside of the house and the ground-floor rooms. He intuitively fixed on the window of No. 3 as that of a "haunted" room, and has since, equally by intuition, diagnosed the drawing-room and library as "creepy," and the dining-room as definitely cheerful. (This coincides with our experience.) My own experiences to-day were confined to ejection from a high waggonette, while waiting at the station for Mr. "Z----," the horse having bolted at the appearance of the train. No phenomena. We are putting Mr. "Z----", at his own request, in No. 3, the "ghost-room." _February 23rd, Tuesday._--Pouring wet. No phenomena. Visit to glen impossible. Mr. and Mrs. R---- (local residents) came to lunch. Though in great pain I was able to see them for a few minutes, and both inquired whether we had had any experience of the reported hauntings, of which, however, they could give us no details. _February 24th, Wednesday._--Mr. "Z----" left early. (_N.B._--No phenomena reported by any one during his visit; he himself slept soundly in the "haunted" room, but does it the justice to acknowledge that he "could sleep through an earthquake.") Miss "N." (the daughter of a landowner of the district) arrived. Mr. Garford (an old friend and excellent observer) came from London. We sleep to-night as follows:-- In the wing, in the two rooms alleged by guests of the H----s to be haunted, the Colonel and Mr. "Endell." No. 1. Mr. Garford. " 3. Mr. "Q." ("ghost-room"; he has just asked to be removed from his former room in the wing). " 4. Miss Langton. " 5. Mrs. W----. " 7. Miss "N." " 8. Miss Moore, myself, and dog. _February 25th, Thursday._--Mr. "Endell" reported this morning having heard a sound he could in no way account for, which seems to us to correspond with the "clanging" noise. We asked how he would imitate it as to volume and quality, and he said that a large iron kettle, about the size of the dinner-table (we are dining eight), boiling violently, so that the lid was constantly "wobbling," might produce it.
