The Book of Dreams and Ghosts

"I
have
been
with
Hetty,"
says
Emily,
"when
it
has
knocked
under
her,
and
when
she
has
removed
has
followed
her,"
and
it
knocked
under
little
Kezzy,
when
"she
stamped
with
her
foot,
pretending
to
scare
Patty."
Mr.
Wesley
had
requested
an
interview
in
his
study,
especially
as
the
Jacobite
goblin
routed
loudly
"over
our
heads
constantly,
when
we
came
to
the
prayers
for
King
George
and
the
prince".
In
his
study
the
agency
pushed
Mr.
Wesley
about,
bumping
him
against
the
corner
of
his
desk,
and
against
his
door.
He
would
ask
for
a
conversation,
but
heard
only
"two
or
three
feeble
squeaks,
a
little
louder
than
the
chirping
of
a
bird,
but
not
like
the
noise
of
rats,
which
I
have
often
heard".
Mr.
Wesley
had
meant
to
leave
home
for
a
visit
on
Friday,
28th
December,
but
the
noises
of
the
27th
were
so
loud
that
he
stayed
at
home,
inviting
the
Rev.
Mr.
Hoole,
of
Haxey,
to
view
the
performances.
"The
noises
were
very
boisterous
and
disturbing
this
night."
Mr.
Hoole
says
(in
1726,
confirmed
by
Mrs.
Wesley,
12th
January,
1717)
that
there
were
sounds
of
feet,
trailing
gowns,
raps,
and
a
noise
as
of
planing
boards:
the
disturbance
finally
went
outside
the
house
and
died
away.
Mr.
Wesley
seems
to
have
paid
his
visit
on
the
30th,
and
notes,
"1st
January,
1717.
My
family
have
had
no
disturbance
since
I
went
away."
