3:25
Speaker 2: or strange paranormal newspaper clippings. These are it didn't at least,
3:33

3:38
Speaker 2: So bear with me. You know, some of these are
3:42
Speaker 2: very old, and you know, sometimes they it's hard to
3:46
Speaker 2: read them sometimes, ok, like uh, this one, it's uh,
3:55
Speaker 2: this one's from the first story here is from the
4:01
Speaker 2: Chicago Tribune. It's from Saturday, January twenty seventh, nineteen oh six,
4:11
Speaker 2: and it's called Haunted by Dead Mother. Frank Swizzl. Swillis
4:18
Speaker 2: says a spirit disturbs him in his peace. Believes the
4:24
Speaker 2: apparition of his dead parent is punishing in him because
4:29
Speaker 2: he's cursed her for the even most of her property
4:34
Speaker 2: to his sister. It's like a little squabbing ribberry. Here,
4:42
Speaker 2: his wife confirms the report of the mysterious doings in
4:47
Speaker 2: their household tables and chairs. Are upset because he's cursed
4:57
Speaker 2: his mother for supposed in just to him previous to
5:02
Speaker 2: her death a year ago. Frank Swillis fifteen ninety six
5:07
Speaker 2: West thirty ninth Street believes that he and his family
5:12
Speaker 2: are haunted by her spirit. When the mother of Swillis
5:17
Speaker 2: died last February, she left most of her property to
5:21
Speaker 2: her daughter. The son thought he had been treated unjust,
5:27
Speaker 2: and his anger over the matter caused him to utter
5:31
Speaker 2: violent expression expressions against the dead mom or dead woman.
5:42
Speaker 2: Shortly afterward, the strange apparitions accompanied by uncommon noises through
5:51
Speaker 2: the possession of the Swillest residents convinced he is haunted.
5:59
Speaker 2: First of the first a son and his wife treated
6:02
Speaker 2: the visitations as imaginary and tried to forget the spirit
6:10
Speaker 2: because they did not believe what our term goes. But
6:15
Speaker 2: as the apparitions increased the number of their visits, Suillis
6:23
Speaker 2: our constance smoke him and he became convinced that he
6:32
Speaker 2: has haunted because of the unkind words he had spoken
6:36
Speaker 2: against his late mother the night recently. On one night recently,
6:44
Speaker 2: a shadow passed between Suillis and the lamp in his room.
6:51
Speaker 2: He looked up and saw what declares was a form
6:56
Speaker 2: of his mother. Missus s Willis also saw the apparition.
7:01
Speaker 2: Since the tables and the chairs have been moved to
7:05
Speaker 2: and fro, the water had been turned on and off
7:10
Speaker 2: at the sink, and nobody was near it fathered while
7:15
Speaker 2: at work. Well until two weeks ago, Swallis was a
7:21
Speaker 2: night watchman at one of the warehouses a swifting company,
7:27
Speaker 2: and at the stockyards, but the avenging spirit haunted him
7:32
Speaker 2: there too. So he saw a day position on the
7:37
Speaker 2: kill floor of the swift plan. I'm convinced that there
7:41
Speaker 2: is more to these apparitions than I first thought, so
7:45
Speaker 2: it said, said last evening. I know I haven't imagined
7:51
Speaker 2: things have happened recently. Missus Willis cooperated with her husband's story.
7:59
Speaker 2: The mother of the haunted man was Missus F. Swansky Klatsky.
8:08
Speaker 2: She lived with her daughter, doctor F. Greenstorm at One's
8:15
Speaker 2: original three was thirty. First place, she says. My mother
8:20
Speaker 2: was always kind to all of us, said she said,
8:24
Speaker 2: doctor Crimstorm. And if Frank is followed by her specter
8:32
Speaker 2: or a specter is because of his conscience troubles him,
8:38
Speaker 2: he sees her as his own consciousness, and then he
8:45
Speaker 2: believes that he is being pursued. Next story is called
8:51
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Ghost or the Bell Ghost. Seen in a
8:58
Speaker 2: late post a notice of celebrated cock Lane Ghost of
9:04
Speaker 2: London reminded another ghost of which I have not before
9:10
Speaker 2: thought for years. It made a great noise and created
9:15
Speaker 2: a tremendous excitement at the time. It made its appearance
9:21
Speaker 2: in Robson County, Tennessee, some thirty years ago or upwards,
9:27
Speaker 2: at the house of an old mister Bell. Hence I
9:32
Speaker 2: called the Tennessee Ghost, or perhaps better call it the
9:37
Speaker 2: Bell Ghost, as it seemed to have visited his house
9:43
Speaker 2: on account of his daughter he had familiarly called missus
9:49
Speaker 2: Betsy Bell. It was in the form of a voice,
9:53
Speaker 2: begin in different parts of the house. It generally, as
9:57
Speaker 2: ghosts were to do, manifests itself only in the night,
10:04
Speaker 2: and if not mistaken, the lights had be all put
10:08
Speaker 2: out before it would speak. It would be heard, sometimes
10:13
Speaker 2: in one part of the house, sometimes in the other
10:16
Speaker 2: part of the house, moving from the floor and under
10:20
Speaker 2: the floor, and in the walls to the beds, open
10:26
Speaker 2: space in the midst of the house, throughof et cetera.
10:31
Speaker 2: The ghost would converse freely with persons, and such as
10:39
Speaker 2: the excitement it created, that was the house was consistently throng,
10:46
Speaker 2: with persons from all parts of the country, coming from
10:52
Speaker 2: even fifty miles away or more to hear it when
10:57
Speaker 2: it spoke, and when asked how long is it going
11:04
Speaker 2: to take to remain, it would reply until Joshua Gardner
11:10
Speaker 2: and Betsy Bell get married. Now mister Gardner was a
11:17
Speaker 2: very likely young man who reside in the neighborhood, and
11:23
Speaker 2: with whom the writer of this subsequently became well acquainted.
11:32
Speaker 2: Such was the number of people who thronged the house
11:36
Speaker 2: night after night, that they would come near and eating
11:41
Speaker 2: old mister Bell out of house and home, but the
11:46
Speaker 2: thing could not last always spell of enchantment. Was this
11:55
Speaker 2: the sin to be broken? It turned out that missus
11:59
Speaker 2: Betsy Belle was a vitrilloquist, had from some some quaintins,
12:07
Speaker 2: had some circumstance, became well aware of possession of such powers,
12:15
Speaker 2: had fallen in love with mister Gardner and wished them
12:19
Speaker 2: to marry her, and had fallen upon his plan to
12:23
Speaker 2: bring about mutual Joshua Gardner and Betsy Bell never got married,
12:32
Speaker 2: and the ghost at length vanished into thin air, as
12:39
Speaker 2: it generally the end of all ghosts. There were numbers
12:44
Speaker 2: now living in the Robertson County, Tennessee, and other welse
12:50
Speaker 2: or elsewhere would heard this ghost and were all acquainted
12:57
Speaker 2: with the circumstances. This is the Saturday Evening Post, and
13:03
Speaker 2: this from Boston, Massachusetts, on Saturday, January twenty sixth, eighteen
13:09
Speaker 2: fifty six. Next story is called Tobacco Yard was strangely
13:18
Speaker 2: weird and ali marvelous. Speaking about a curly, courteous incidents
13:26
Speaker 2: from March. One of the Hot Air Fraternity reminds me
13:30
Speaker 2: one that happened to me down South. Yes, very curious,
13:36
Speaker 2: but nonetheless a fact. He paused long enough to put
13:41
Speaker 2: a din in another fellow's paper of state. When continued,
13:47
Speaker 2: You see, it was this way. I had been bumming
13:51
Speaker 2: the country and taking life easy, and also everything that
13:56
Speaker 2: was portable not chained down. I landed in a certain
14:02
Speaker 2: southern city, it does not matter where, and thought i'd
14:07
Speaker 2: go to work for a change. But don't look at
14:10
Speaker 2: me that way. Gentlemen necessarily didn't couple me to do so.
14:16
Speaker 2: I only did it as a novelty. I know I
14:22
Speaker 2: was disgraced in the profession, but my desire to see
14:27
Speaker 2: how plugged tobacco was manufactured led me to ask for
14:33
Speaker 2: a situation so that I could satisfy my curiosity. Well,
14:40
Speaker 2: and did you actually go to work, as one listener, Yes,
14:46
Speaker 2: and no. I had been assigned to a cutter machine,
14:51
Speaker 2: and in ten minutes of it was enough for me.
14:55
Speaker 2: What was the matter? Did you regret what he had done?
15:00
Speaker 2: I certainly did see the stump on my left hand, Yes,
15:07
Speaker 2: we see it, But well, that stuff was caused by
15:11
Speaker 2: the cutter. I was operating it, and as I stopped
15:15
Speaker 2: my finger and I regretted it right then and there.
15:20
Speaker 2: But what what was that to do with the curious
15:25
Speaker 2: instinct you spoke of, I'm coming to that. Were you
15:30
Speaker 2: ever in Paris, Texas? Yes, I know the police very well,
15:36
Speaker 2: and you remember that small grocery near the depot, certainly.
15:41
Speaker 2: But on but with your story. Well, I went there,
15:47
Speaker 2: and after giving the proprietor a hard look story behind me,
15:53
Speaker 2: something to eat and a plug of tobacco, I wondered
15:58
Speaker 2: that I wondered down the road, and after shaking hands
16:03
Speaker 2: with the first good meal I had in week, I
16:07
Speaker 2: took out the plug to make a chee. But after
16:11
Speaker 2: I had sunk a teeth into it, I'd struck something
16:17
Speaker 2: hard and it could bite it. What do you think
16:22
Speaker 2: it was a piece of wood or something kind? No, sir,
16:30
Speaker 2: you were way off. Well what was it? You may
16:35
Speaker 2: not believe it, gentlemen, But when I had cut the
16:40
Speaker 2: plug in half, I found that it was a piece
16:46
Speaker 2: of the finger that I lost two years before in
16:50
Speaker 2: the South. Ouch. Some men would like to die in
16:56
Speaker 2: a in a cook chop and it'd be buried in
16:59
Speaker 2: white seller. That article came from the Levenworth Times, Levenworth, Kansas, Sunday,
17:11
Speaker 2: December fourteenth, nineteen oh two. I think that was a
17:17
Speaker 2: little bit of a common there for that gentleman that no,
17:25
Speaker 2: it'll say those once around comes around. Here's the headline.
17:35
Speaker 2: Just right before Halloween year, the frosty falls season once
17:41
Speaker 2: again settled over in northern Hampshire. For some that means
17:45
Speaker 2: warming up against the cold, well for others it's prime
17:50
Speaker 2: time to get those goosebumps going. We've got the latter
17:55
Speaker 2: covered with today's post, which refers to three ghost stories
18:01
Speaker 2: that have haunted past papers. Are tells of real or
18:07
Speaker 2: just stories that meant to thrill and chill. You could
18:12
Speaker 2: be the judge one haunted mind. There's something about the
18:19
Speaker 2: closed space that leads self de creepients, isn't there If
18:25
Speaker 2: you take that in closed space underground is only gets worse.
18:32
Speaker 2: This eighteen eighty seventh story reencounts the Halloween experience of
18:40
Speaker 2: mister Bennett, whose qualifications as a reliable source speak of
18:48
Speaker 2: for themselves. Mister Bennett was known as a well known
18:58
Speaker 2: many persons and separings Cisco, as well as part of
19:03
Speaker 2: Nevada and many of the mountain towns in California. It
19:08
Speaker 2: was for a number of years an employee of Will's
19:12
Speaker 2: Farging Company, and in the old staging days, at charge
19:19
Speaker 2: as superintendent was in charge of superintendent of all their
19:23
Speaker 2: horses and coaches, and as much of the time traveling
19:29
Speaker 2: to and fro over their roots. He is in every
19:35
Speaker 2: truthful man and a Pacific ghost pioneer, and a man who,
19:40
Speaker 2: throughout his life was feared. No evil thing that walks
19:47
Speaker 2: by night in fog or fire by lake or north
19:53
Speaker 2: finn blue, meaner hag or stubborn on my ghost that
20:01
Speaker 2: breaks his magic chains that curfew time. No goblin nor sweat,
20:07
Speaker 2: No no smart fancy of the mind, he says, than
20:14
Speaker 2: never until last week, he didn't see or hear anything
20:19
Speaker 2: that could not account for. Bennett worked in an Abajo
20:26
Speaker 2: jacket mine, which made the news nearly two decades earlier,
20:30
Speaker 2: falling a deadly fire. Story since been told of unexplained
20:36
Speaker 2: sounds and sights in the mind, but Bennett could not
20:41
Speaker 2: believe them, that is until the day he had retrieve
20:48
Speaker 2: a pair of shovels from the empty thousandth level one
20:55
Speaker 2: thousandth level. Bennett found the shovels and was descending the
21:02
Speaker 2: letter back to the eleven hundredth level when he heard
21:07
Speaker 2: footsteps at the At first, been had thought it was
21:12
Speaker 2: just a foremant Pete lackman. The lagman would have used
21:18
Speaker 2: the light, and footsteps were approaching from complete darkness a
21:27
Speaker 2: trap floor trap Flour was moving down with his lantern
21:36
Speaker 2: below the hole in the floor, but his head still
21:41
Speaker 2: through it. He was startled and hearing the spl splendid
21:49
Speaker 2: of heavy footsteps continuing tapping over the planks directly towards him.
21:59
Speaker 2: He began to descend the ladder as repidly as possible,
22:05
Speaker 2: and while he did, he heard the steps immediately over
22:11
Speaker 2: his head at the hole he had just left. He
22:16
Speaker 2: pursued down the ladder in short distance until he reached
22:22
Speaker 2: an oar shoot and let's leads down from the floor
22:27
Speaker 2: in which the footsteps were heard. Not seeing he knew
22:34
Speaker 2: there were no men were working on the level, but
22:38
Speaker 2: it came into his head that Pete Landing Langdon might
22:44
Speaker 2: possibly have followed him up to the part of the
22:47
Speaker 2: mine through the through and through. They struck him that
22:53
Speaker 2: Pete could not have come without the light and would
22:58
Speaker 2: not be upping about the dark. He called out and
23:06
Speaker 2: asked who wasn't and heard no answer but the footsteps
23:15
Speaker 2: coming closer. Suddenly, two shovels hurt under his arm right
23:21
Speaker 2: only just strusted forward, thrust forward, and sent flying. They
23:27
Speaker 2: trembled tumbled down the ladder way until they came to
23:33
Speaker 2: rest thirty feet away. Upon this time, mister Bennett says,
23:38
Speaker 2: mister Bennett, I was not very badly frightened, But when
23:44
Speaker 2: I felt the thrust from behind and saw the shovels
23:48
Speaker 2: flying ahead of me, I fell through my whole system,
23:52
Speaker 2: a chilling, sickening shock. For a moment, I was almost paralyzed.
23:59
Speaker 2: When a fear of something worse, the trumpet of the
24:03
Speaker 2: floor above still continuing, I descended the ladder as swiftly
24:09
Speaker 2: as possible. Ben scrambled back to back into the other
24:17
Speaker 2: workers and confirmed Pete Legman had been above the ground
24:22
Speaker 2: throughout his experience. Ben, who once man himself through all
24:29
Speaker 2: parts of the mind and no thought of fear, refused
24:34
Speaker 2: to return to the haunted thousandth level ever again. The
24:40
Speaker 2: Haunted Lighthouse. The story is also from the eighteen hundreds
24:47
Speaker 2: and raids a bit like an author car story. The
24:51
Speaker 2: author Tom was hired to replace a lighthouse keeper who
24:56
Speaker 2: had deserted his employee four and hadn't been heard from since.
25:04
Speaker 2: He has told man had a pretty wife and had
25:10
Speaker 2: the two of them suspected to have deserted so efficiently
25:16
Speaker 2: effectively because they had stolen some items from the lighthouse
25:23
Speaker 2: the first night. Tom asked the temporary keeper, Oregon, to
25:29
Speaker 2: stay with them this first night and teach him the ropes.
25:33
Speaker 2: Morgan was reluctant, and Tom noticed his face looked taggered
25:39
Speaker 2: and anxious, but he agreed and skipped the tour of
25:43
Speaker 2: the sellers while showing Tom around the light house and man.
25:48
Speaker 2: They were never used anyway, and at night passed unremarkably.
25:54
Speaker 2: Morgan was all too eager to leave next morning and
26:00
Speaker 2: gave only one strange bit of advice sure almost in silence,
26:09
Speaker 2: when within about half an hour, half a mile from land, Morgan,
26:17
Speaker 2: who had been thinking deeply, suddenly stopped pulling and very
26:23
Speaker 2: abruptly asked me if I had any arms in the lighthouse.
26:28
Speaker 2: Somewhat startled at this question, I replied that I had
26:33
Speaker 2: a revolver, but it was unloaded, as I didn't see
26:37
Speaker 2: how I could require it better loaded, was the hurried answer.
26:45
Speaker 2: It's lonesome at times out yonder, and you'll feel more
26:51
Speaker 2: comfortable if you want something by you and you could
26:56
Speaker 2: trust to. We were close to y to the land
27:01
Speaker 2: now and in a moment or to my companions, swung
27:06
Speaker 2: ashore and hurriedly what wished me goodbye, strode away through
27:13
Speaker 2: the trees and was soon lost to sight. I knew
27:17
Speaker 2: no one in the little Please leave us.

27:34
Speaker 5: It wasn't it til the second night, spend alone in
27:38
Speaker 5: the lighthouse, a moonless Saturday evening, Tom had his first
27:43
Speaker 5: taste of the supernatural.
27:47
Speaker 2: Dead seven surrounding. The clock had just struck Levin, and
27:54
Speaker 2: I was thinking of visiting my lights, and sudden me
27:58
Speaker 2: a confused no of struggling and curses, intermingled with the
28:06
Speaker 2: sound of heavy blows arose from beneath me. I sprung
28:11
Speaker 2: from my chair, my first depression being that these had
28:16
Speaker 2: broken into the lighthouse. I stood listening rapid steps descending
28:21
Speaker 2: the stairs, and I was as I turned to seize
28:26
Speaker 2: the poker as my nearest weapon available, the door flew
28:31
Speaker 2: a violently open into my intense horror. The sound of
28:36
Speaker 2: the oaths and struggling commenced close by, but not a
28:43
Speaker 2: thing which could cause it was visible, the noise barely
28:48
Speaker 2: last minute lifetime, as it seemed to me, and appeared
28:54
Speaker 2: again to descend the stairs. For a moment, all was still.
29:00
Speaker 2: I was beginning to stay. I began to try I
29:05
Speaker 2: persuade myself that I had been the victim of some
29:10
Speaker 2: horrible hallucination. When a wild trill screamed, the agony of
29:17
Speaker 2: which haunts me still rang through the silent building, and
29:23
Speaker 2: a woman's voice exclaimed, George, George, for God's sakes, don't
29:30
Speaker 2: murder me. A dull thud, as some heavy substance falling
29:36
Speaker 2: to the ground, a low gurgling noise, and all was still.
29:44
Speaker 2: After some time spent in a frozen terror, Tom woke
29:49
Speaker 2: up in the courage to explore the cold Clammy Siller
29:54
Speaker 2: with his lantern and revolver in hand. Despite all that
30:00
Speaker 2: he had experienced, there was nothing unusual to be seen.
30:06
Speaker 2: He secured the cellar door and spent a sleepless night
30:11
Speaker 2: at the top of the lighthouse. The next day he
30:15
Speaker 2: went back to the shore to share what had happened
30:20
Speaker 2: with mister Thompson, the man who had hired him. Thompson
30:25
Speaker 2: was skeptical, but sent a man named Wilson stay a
30:31
Speaker 2: few days with him. Wilson helped him, and now the
30:36
Speaker 2: cellar door shut. But of course the days passed and
30:41
Speaker 2: no further unexplained events. Wilson left. Tom felt foolish until
30:48
Speaker 2: that startday evening, when the events occurred again, exactly as
30:53
Speaker 2: they had been a week before that. I had paid
30:59
Speaker 2: no heed to the fight, to the flight of time,
31:05
Speaker 2: until with a sense of horror and mounting almost to sickness,
31:11
Speaker 2: I heard the sound of the oaths and bellows, a
31:16
Speaker 2: man stream from the cellar, a moment's pods, and the
31:20
Speaker 2: footsteps I heard before extending from the stair. And I
31:27
Speaker 2: crouched into the corner, with my eyes dilated and every
31:34
Speaker 2: hair upon my head moving in my agony of terror.
31:39
Speaker 2: The sound of scuffling commenced close by me. Through as before,
31:46
Speaker 2: not a thing was visible. Again, the sounds appeared to
31:51
Speaker 2: descend the stair again. Above the howling of the wind
31:56
Speaker 2: and the roar of the waves arose. The uh astonished
32:04
Speaker 2: and and triggeredy George, George, for God's says, don't murder me?
32:14
Speaker 2: How could I pass the reminder of that night. I
32:18
Speaker 2: hardly knew nothing more occurred, but I was hard It
32:25
Speaker 2: was so strong that what I had, for the second
32:29
Speaker 2: time heard that reminded that Heaven knows how long, catching
32:36
Speaker 2: by my side, muttering incoherence, prayers and my state of
32:43
Speaker 2: hysterical fear, which almost benefited me and my sense with
32:50
Speaker 2: the first straight it was, wasn't it until the second
32:55
Speaker 2: night it's been alone in the lighthouse a moonless Saturday,
33:01
Speaker 2: Tom had his first taste of the supernatural dead silence
33:07
Speaker 2: surrounding me. The clock had just struck eleven, and I
33:13
Speaker 2: was thinking of visiting my lights, and suddenly a confused
33:18
Speaker 2: noise of struggling and curses, intermingled with the sound of
33:25
Speaker 2: heavy blows, arose from beneath me. I sprung from my chair,
33:31
Speaker 2: my first depression being that these had broken into the lighthouse.
33:36
Speaker 2: While I stood listening, rapid steps ascending the stairs, and
33:42
Speaker 2: I was as I turned to seize the poker as
33:46
Speaker 2: my nearest weapon available, the door flew a violently open
33:52
Speaker 2: into my intense horror. The sound of the oaths and
33:57
Speaker 2: struggling commenced close by, but not a thing which could
34:03
Speaker 2: cause it was visible. The noise barely last minute lifetime,
34:10
Speaker 2: as it seemed to me, and appeared again to descend
34:14
Speaker 2: the stare. For a moment, all was still. I was
34:19
Speaker 2: beginning to stay. I was began to try I persuade
34:24
Speaker 2: myself that I had been the victim of some horrible hallucination.
34:31
Speaker 2: When a wild trill screamed, the agony of which haunts
34:37
Speaker 2: me still rang through the silent building, and a woman's
34:42
Speaker 2: voice exclaimed, George, George, for God's sakes, don't murder me.
34:50
Speaker 2: A dull thud, as some heavy substance falling to the ground,
34:56
Speaker 2: a low gurgling noise, and all was still. After some
35:04
Speaker 2: time spent in a frozen terror, Tom woke up in
35:09
Speaker 2: the courage to explore the cold and clammy cellar with
35:13
Speaker 2: his lantern and revolver in hand. Despite all that he
35:19
Speaker 2: had experienced, there was nothing unusual to be seen. He
35:25
Speaker 2: secured the cellar door and spent a sleepless night at
35:30
Speaker 2: the top of the lighthouse. The next day he went
35:34
Speaker 2: back to the shore to share what had happened with
35:39
Speaker 2: mister Thompson, the man who had hired him. Thompson was skeptical,
35:46
Speaker 2: but sent a man named Wilson stay a few days
35:50
Speaker 2: with him. Wilson helped him, and now the cellar door shut.
35:57
Speaker 2: But of course the days passed further unexplained events. Wilson
36:03
Speaker 2: left Tom felt foolish until that Saturday evening, when the
36:09
Speaker 2: events occurred again, exactly as they had been a week
36:14
Speaker 2: before that. I had paid no heed to the fight,
36:21
Speaker 2: to the flight of time, until with a sense of
36:25
Speaker 2: horror and mounting almost to sickness, I heard the sound
36:31
Speaker 2: of the oaths and bellows, a manstream from the cellar,
36:37
Speaker 2: a moment's pods, and the footsteps I heard before extended
36:43
Speaker 2: from the stair. And I crouched into the corner, with
36:48
Speaker 2: my eyes dilated and every hair upon my head moving
36:56
Speaker 2: in my agony of terror. The sound of scuffling commenced
37:01
Speaker 2: close by me. Through as before, not a thing was visible. Again,
37:08
Speaker 2: the sounds appeared to descend the stair again. Above the
37:12
Speaker 2: howling of the wind and the roar of the waves
37:17
Speaker 2: arose the astonished and and trickerty George, George, for God sings,
37:30
Speaker 2: don't murder me? How can I pass the reminder of
37:35
Speaker 2: that night? I hardly knew nothing more occurred, but I
37:41
Speaker 2: was hard. It was so strong that what I had
37:47
Speaker 2: for the second time heard that reminded that Heaven knows
37:53
Speaker 2: how long, catching by my side, muttering incoherence, prayers and
38:01
Speaker 2: my state of hysterical fear, which almost benefited me and
38:07
Speaker 2: my sense with the first straight and then expected and
38:18
Speaker 2: experienced and ex celebrated. Mister Thompson once again sent Wilson
38:29
Speaker 2: to act as witness to any further oddities, and made
38:36
Speaker 2: plans to come himself the next Saturday evening. Aside from
38:42
Speaker 2: unnerving discovery that the nails in the cellar door have
38:48
Speaker 2: been forcedly ripped out, Wilson and tom passed that week quickly.
38:55
Speaker 2: On Saturday, Thompson arrived and all three men took position
39:00
Speaker 2: directly outside the cellar door as a clock China eleven.
39:08
Speaker 2: They heard the shutting and blows began. The door flew open,
39:14
Speaker 2: and the voice screamed as it had before. This time,
39:19
Speaker 2: the violent vision played out before their eyes makes me
39:24
Speaker 2: shut my eyes in dread. By the light of a pale,
39:29
Speaker 2: leminent flame that seemed to spring from every part of
39:33
Speaker 2: the cellar, we saw the dead body of a man
39:37
Speaker 2: lying on the ground, the face and head so battered
39:41
Speaker 2: and covered with blood as to make the features underdistinguishable.
39:47
Speaker 2: Over it stood a woman in her night dress, her
39:51
Speaker 2: arms extended as if to ward off a blow, while
39:56
Speaker 2: from a gasping wound in her throat. Love poured down
40:01
Speaker 2: in terence. I remember had not acknoonished in trinity, visible
40:10
Speaker 2: in the large blue eyes and the ripping masses of
40:15
Speaker 2: golden hair contrasting strongly with the blood covered boosom. But
40:22
Speaker 2: no more after I felt insensible. When I came to,
40:28
Speaker 2: I found myself in bed, and so this sportly weak
40:34
Speaker 2: that I could barely turn around. I've been nearly dying,
40:39
Speaker 2: and afterwards turned out from an attack a brain fever
40:46
Speaker 2: got on, the doctor said by over mental excitement. Mister
40:51
Speaker 2: Thompson arranged the investigation of the cellar and found the
40:56
Speaker 2: bodies of a man and a woman, identified as a
41:01
Speaker 2: local farmer and the wife of the former lighthouse keeper.
41:06
Speaker 2: They tracked down the keeper got his confession. He suspected
41:12
Speaker 2: the intimate relationship between his wife and the farmer. He
41:17
Speaker 2: had killed them both in jealous raid, despite his wife's
41:22
Speaker 2: protests of innocence. And thus the ghosts of the wronged
41:29
Speaker 2: who had haunted that lovely lighthouse good rest. Their mystery
41:36
Speaker 2: now solved. The haunted tell the story might be familiar,
41:44
Speaker 2: especially to those who have visited the Tower of London before.
41:49
Speaker 2: The famous Castle prison as its fair share of groom history,
41:56
Speaker 2: perhaps the most normally as the site of the multiple
42:00
Speaker 2: royal executions during the reign of Henry the Eighth. His
42:04
Speaker 2: second wife am berleyn and one of those and according
42:11
Speaker 2: to several newspaper articles across the years, their ghosts make
42:15
Speaker 2: the regular appearance in the tower today. Amblen's ghost, fortunately
42:24
Speaker 2: and the unfortunate spouse of Henry the Eighth counts the
42:27
Speaker 2: Tower of London. The foot guards during century duty said,
42:33
Speaker 2: I have seen a ghost every night, a warning of death.
42:40
Speaker 2: The story says that Sinri heard he screamed during his rounds.
42:46
Speaker 2: He ran and sound to sound and found a fellow
42:50
Speaker 2: guard unconscious besides his rifle. When the affected guard came
42:57
Speaker 2: to he was in such state and distress that he
43:02
Speaker 2: was unable to resume his post. Under questioning, he finally
43:07
Speaker 2: revealed what happened and the fact of restrict questioning, he
43:12
Speaker 2: remained that he had seen, with overwhelming horror to show
43:17
Speaker 2: a figure of a headless woman approaching. He mistrusted his
43:23
Speaker 2: vision in the darkness, so he challenged the figure. There
43:30
Speaker 2: was no reply the rifle with his bay and a
43:36
Speaker 2: fixed no no, no, no, no no ease, hands clattering
43:41
Speaker 2: on the paving with the scream. He felt unconscious. That
43:45
Speaker 2: had been endless stories since that day of how her
43:50
Speaker 2: ruthless spirit haunts him. The gloomy ancient tower of the
43:54
Speaker 2: people who lived in the neighborhood firmly rest. They have
44:02
Speaker 2: seen it so many centuries who have patrolled the tower.
44:07
Speaker 2: Their superior officers laugh, but they challenge the centuries often.
