Belfast Ghost Fails
To Appear at Theatre
Especial to Kennebec JournaIl

Especial to Kennebec Journall
Belfast, Nov. 20-The Belfast ghost
is laid low, and those who insisted
that it was all practical joke are
now saying II told you So" even
though the believers in spirits are
not yet fully convinced. 1t was long
after midnight when the last watch
er left the local theatre Thursday
night, where they waited In vain for
the ghostly footsteps and uncanny
rappings which for the past few
weeks have unnerved many OF the
employees of the house and which
MANY believed to be snooks.
Last night the building was care
fully searched, guarded inside and
out and there was not sound. This
was not surprising, according to spir-
itualists, who said that the presence
of SO many unbelievers had caused
the spell to be broken.
However, the raps nearly fright
ened the life out of the operator
early in the evening and he came out
of his booth as white as a sheet,
sure that someone was carrying the
joke too far. Those near assured
him that they had heard the noises
too, but could not account for it.
This morning the manager with
others made a complete investigation
and tested every possible theory. He
is convinced beyond all possible
doubt that it is a practical joke and
if the perpetrator is caught he Will
be dealt with severely.
