Psychologists and students Of the
supernatural have been investigating
q series Of strange manifestations at
Cheriton, near Folkestone, England.
F. w. Rolfe, a local builder, had con-
tracted to construct an underground
retreat in the grounds Of Enbrook

days when he was attacked by stones
and pieces Of rock, which were hurled
at him by some mysterious agency.

his candles were extinguished by jets
of sand. he was injured by the mis-
siles, and gave up work for two days,
but on resuming operations the same
terrifying experiences were repeated,
and he has now rellnquished the work
altogether. Sir Conan Doyle and Sir
William Barrett, ex-president of the
Society for Psychical Research, have
examined the excavation and Ques-
toned the witnesses. They expressed
the opinion that some intangible pow
er had been at work.
