The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·

"When
we
went
to
bed
in
the
evening
he
shouted
fiercely
in
the
middle
of
the
floor,
'On
this
night
I
shall
snatch
you
off
to
hell,
and
you
shall
not
rise
up
out
of
bed
as
you
lay
down'.
During
the
evening
he
wished
the
minister's
wife
good-night.
The
minister
and
I
continued
to
talk
with
him
during
the
night;
among
other
things
we
asked
him
what
kind
of
weather
it
was
outside.
He
answered:
'It
is
cold,
with
a
north
wind'.
We
asked
if
he
was
cold.
He
answered:
'I
think
I
am
both
hot
and
cold'.
I
asked
him
how
loud
he
could
shout.
He
said,
'So
loud
that
the
roof
would
go
off
the
house,
and
you
would
all
fall
into
a
dead
faint'.
I
told
him
to
try
it.
He
answered:
'Do
you
think
I
am
come
to
amuse
you,
you
---
idiot?'
I
asked
him
to
show
us
a
little
specimen.
He
said
he
would
do
so,
and
gave
three
shouts,
the
last
of
which
was
so
fearful
that
I
have
never
heard
anything
worse,
and
doubt
whether
I
ever
shall.
Towards
daybreak,
after
he
had
parted
from
us
with
the
usual
compliments,
we
fell
asleep.
"Next
morning
he
came
in
again,
and
began
to
waken
up
people;
he
named
each
one
by
name,
not
forgetting
to
add
some
nickname,
and
asking
whether
so-and-so
was
awake.
When
he
saw
they
were
all
awake,
he
said
he
was
going
to
play
with
the
door
now,
and
with
that
he
threw
the
door
off
its
hinges
with
a
sudden
jerk,
and
sent
it
far
in
upon
the
floor.
The
strangest
thing
was
that
when
he
threw
anything
it
went
down
at
once,
and
then
went
back
to
its
place
again,
so
it
was
evident
that
he
either
went
inside
it
or
moved
about
with
it.
