A weird story comes from East Pool
mine, Redruth, to tho effect that a
ghost has been seen there by at least
half "a dozen miners One of these
declared that he could hardly believe
the evidence of his own senses, and
did not know what to make Of his
experience. lie is as certain as he can
be. however. that while working al
night In the immediate vicinity OF the
shaft he beheld the shadowy semblance
OF a man wearing long. black, capped
coat. This miner is obviously not at
all of an excitable temperament, and
not inclined to joke about the matter.
The ghost Is said to vanish on being
approached.
Another story is that the spectre on
one occasion visited the engine house
and sat down there.
About quarter OF the men who
are engaged on night duty near the
shaft in the course Of the week are
ready to swear that they have seen
the phantom. but the remainder have
observed nothing ont OF the common
and are rather inclined to laugh at the
expense of the others
