{177c} This lady was well known to my friends and to Dr. Ferrier.  I also have had the honour to make her acquaintance.

{179} Apparently on Thursday morning really.

{182} She gave, not for publication, the other real names, here altered to pseudonyms.

{196} I have once seen this happen, and it is a curious thing to see, when on the other side of the door there is nobody.

{198a} S.P.R., iii., 115, and from oral narrative of Mr. and Mrs. Rokeby.  In 1885, when the account was published, Mr. Rokeby had not yet seen the lady in grey.  Nothing of interest is known about the previous tenants of the house.

{198b} Proceedings, S.P.R., vol. viii., p. 311.

{199} Letter of 31st January, 1884.

{200} Six separate signed accounts by other witnesses are given.  They add nothing more remarkable than what Miss Morton relates.  No account was published till the haunting ceased, for fear of lowering the letting value of Bognor House.

{201} Mr. A. H. Millar’s Book of Glamis, Scottish History Society.

{202} This account is abridged from Mr. Walter Leaf’s translation of Aksakoff’s Predvestniki Spiritizma, St. Petersburg, 1895.  Mr. Aksakoff publishes contemporary letters, certificates from witnesses, and Mr. Akutin’s hostile report.  It is based on the possibility of imitating the raps, the difficulty of locating them, and the fact that the flying objects were never seen to start.  If Mrs. Shchapoff threw them, they might, perhaps, have occasionally been seen to start.  S.P.R., vol. xii., p. 298.  Precisely similar events occurred in Russian military quarters in 1853.  As a quantity of Government property was burned, official inquiries were held.  The reports are published by Mr. Aksakoff.  The repeated verdict was that no suspicion attached to any subject of the Czar.

{205} The same freedom was taken, as has been said, with a lady of the most irreproachable character, a friend of the author, in a haunted house, of the usual sort, in Hammersmith, about 1876.

{212} John Wesley, however, places Hetty as next in seniority to Mary or Molly.  We do not certainly know whether Hetty was a child, or a grown-up girl, but, as she always sat up till her father went to bed, the latter is the more probable opinion.  As Hetty has been accused of causing the disturbances, her age is a matter of interest.  Girls of twelve or thirteen are usually implicated in these affairs.  Hetty was probably several years older.
