The Chest Was Astride a Horse.

whole house would be flooded with
light. the source OF which could not be
traced.
Next, what seemed to be a ghost
would come TO the place on horseback.
He could be distinctly seen TO put up
the horse at the barn, walk heavily
toward the house. enter and begin
the work of undressing.
"He would breathe heavily as though
completely tired out; he would walk
about yawning and making other
noises. Except on two or three occa-
sions the form or outline OF man
was never seen.
When seen at all IL was a dim,
white. shadowy form which would
shortly vanish upward. Visitors from
distance observed similar phenom-
ena. One dark night horses feet and
carriage wheels distinctly sounded in
the lane. and on other occasions phan-
tom carriages filled with dim figures
were seen.
These phenomena were so well au-
thenticated that there can be no class
ification OF them as old women's
tales"

Club Of Psychiesl Research

Lincoln, Neb.-Members Of the local
psychology club have been investigat-
ing a haunted house up in Sanders
county. 16 miles north Of this city.
and have concluded that it is a genu.
Inc case of a disembodied spirit re-
turning to earth
The house is located on a farm
about four miles from Valparaiso. II
Is owned and until recently was occu-
pied by a family named Van SAINT
Mrs. Van SAINT was a school teacher
foT years and says she isn't supersti-
tious.
The farm belonged years ago to a
man reputed to be a miser. One night
he was murdered by robbers.
For FIVE years after the Van SAINTS
moved In no signs of spooks appeared.
Then things happened Stories reach
ed Lincoln and the club interested in
psychical research sent a committee
headed by Mrs. L. w. Billingsley. wife
of a lawyer, to investigate. Mean.
while the Van SAINTS moved out.
we talked with Mrs. Van SAINT and
her neighbors." said Mrs. Bulingslev
and we have no hesitancy in pro
nouncing IL a case worthy OF being
reported and placed in the records of
the Society for Psychical Research.
The first manifestation occurred
one summer evening when the two
Van SAINT girls came home from
church. They had driven. each with
a male escort. 20 Valparaiso.
When the younger daughter reach.
ed home she found her parents had
retired and the screen door locked
When her mother responded she ex.
pressed surprise that the door was
locked. She distinctly remembered
leaving Il unlocked
She requested the girl to leave II
unlocked for the older sister. She did
so. but when the latter returned half
an hour later she found the door Sc
curely fastened.
After that as many times as the
doors were left unlocked they would
be found locked. and when left open
they would close. Efforts were made
to prop them open. but the doors
would calmly close. pushing aside the
obstacle.
"One large inner door was found
locked so frequently that IL had TO be
removed entirely TO prevent annoy
ance. Finally the family ceased 20 try

My first experiment I decided to con-
duct from the shore. SO that 7 could
have chance 20 run behind a hig

cape injury. So lighted IL and threw
the stick OF dynamite as far into the
water as the fuse would permit.
No sooner had l thrown il than nv
dog, true TO an old habit, leaped into
the water and swan to the point
where the stick OF explosive sank out
of sight. I was almost stricken with
fright. There was but one course. and
that TO retreat / ran like a rabbit.
and, gazing backward, saw my spaniel
running toward me with the fuse in
his mouth and dragging the stick of
dynamite, little more than a mans
length from where he held the fuse
In his teeth.
The fuse was burning with great
rapidity, the dog insisted on keeping
up with me, and a terrible explosion
was imminent Suddenly. with great
presence OF mind, l picked up the stick
of wood and threw it toward the lake
In the hope that the dog would drop
the fuse and dynamite and go after
the wood. Sure enough, this Is Just
what he did. but the moment he
