" Stand up on a chair," I said, " and fasten it as well as you can." She managed it easily; and I had tho Satisfaction of seeing that my ghost was furnished with her proper complement of arms. But to mnke assurance doubly sure, I said :" ! Taw V-.G blind up fora

moment; I will tell you why afterwards." She drew it up ; and with greater relief / and satisfaction than I can describe, I saw the figure disappear gradually ; com mencing at the feet, finishing at the neck ; a shadowy head stilll remaining. I speedily : announced my discovery; and after minute j investigation, and mnch experimentalising i and proving, we at last discovered the entire nature and origin of our spectre. And this was it. From the position of the fire-grate, the entire light of the flames fell on the window opposite the door ; and when the door waa open, this light was again reflected from the dazzling surface of the white Wind on to the opposite wall, which formed the curve of the stair, and where stood the window. Every one knows that two festooned curtains will give to the space between them the form of a human neck and shoulders; here was the foundation of the figure; and the curtains nearing each other as they ap proached the ground, completed the illusion of a long scanty garment. The phantom foot was nothing but the space between the dark drapery terminating in a point. The immense width of the fes tooned part as compared with the rest, gave that appearance of bulk about the arms and shoulders; and the head was caused by the re-appearance*of the light coloured wall above the curtains. The wall, of course, rose square and shapeless, hence the supposition of a sheet envelop ing the figure. We found too, that when the door was opened adde, the reflection vanished ; tliis,l fancy, was caused by the light being diffused, instead of concentra ted through a small opening. And the strange movements ot the spectre were simple enough. .Naturally, the more the fire blazed, the more its light flickered' and danced on the window, and sent its dancing and flickering shadow outside the door. But why the reflection seemed to stop short on the landing, instead of being conveyed to the opposite wall, I have never fujjy satisfied myself. I fancied it lo be by meeting the li^hfc from the staircase window, and so throw ing it back upon itself; but this is only my supposition. I leave it to those more learned in the laws of light than I am to settle the matter. Thus every particle of our ghost wns explained, even to the head, whioh remained stationary when all the rest had disappeared. The head being a reflection from the wall, of course never moved when the bliud was drawn up. Having proved our discoveries in the most satisfactory manner, we published the matter among our friends; and many came to look st tho ghost, and see it made and unmade; and I have no doubt that some who read this will be of that num ber, and bear witness to the truth of what I have written. I have been tempted to make this curious circumstance public, knowing on what much smaller grounds houses have gained a reputation for being haunted, to the extreme terror of the inhabitants, and great detriment of the owner. And certainly the remarkable coincidence of the former building having been destroyed by fire, in which a woman and her baby perished, and the spectral appearance of a woman holding a child being visible on the very spot where the poor thing was last seen alive, whenever that spot was illuminated by a strong blaze, was enough to convince the most i ncredulous. With this experience, there fore, before me, I strongly advise anyone who sees or hears of a ghost, to examine carefully all doors, windows, and other means of conveying light, before lie believe his eyes or ears ; and I think I may ven ture to predict a natural and simple solu tion to the most alarming and mysterions apparitioD.
