Appeared from the Middle Ases

was in my native home in Germany some
twenty-five years ago. | was then about
eight years old. and all of us. sisters and
brothers, were sleeping III one apartment.
One night | was dreaming that was being
pursued by a monstrous eagle. aud that |
ran down a hill towards the town to escape
him. Just before reaching the first house |
stopped to look behind to REQ whether | was
still pursued, when | awokc and looked on n
strange face and figure leaning over my bed
and staring at me-.
l can yet clearly remember that the
strange figure was clad i'll n costume of the
middle ages. | was 50 terrified that | could
neither move nor speak, aud the sweat was
pouring down on mt as IL l had been soaked
III hot water. There was no light in the
room, and yet l was able to recognize the
whole figure az il in daylight.
The ghost walked slowly up and down the
room. and after II little while l heard him
scrape the wall with his fiuger-nails.
On q sudden, 1 felt that the door had
opened and the ghost disappeared.
Immediately after l found myself in con-
troll of my limbs again. and / began to
scream. My parents brought me upstairs
and | related nv experience to them.
Next morning the room was closely ex-
amined; the door was found to be still
locked, and yet the nightly visitor had
really been there. and where | had heard
the ghost scrape the wall we found a big
hole through it, of which the fresh mortar
was still lying on the bed cover.

Not a guuot-Proof Ghost.

Some years ago, when spending a va
cation in the Dovretleld Mountains, in Nor
way. We boarded on the farm of a very ig-
norant and superstitious old widow, who
claimed that she was being nightly visited
by tho ghost of her late husband. who had
recently died and left her all his money and
property. She said that she gave the ghost,
at every visit, large sums of money to give
to the poor WHOM lie accused her of neglect
ing.
To test the truthfulness of her story. we
gained permissi one night to hide in her
room to rec this ghost. About IL o'clock we
heard footsteps, the chamber door opened,
and in the doorway stood the widows late
husband, tall, lean and ghastiy!
The woman screamed and We were terror
stricken, bnt the next moment n bullet from
my friend brought the ghost to the foo
As he fell his mask came of. and. to, our
horror and amazement, there Oh the floor
lay the village schoolmaster!
Thus we nnearthed a big crime ard had a
most thrilling, ghost experience. This
strnnge. incident il still talked about in the
little country village. II. n. Hansen.
