Floating

in
Haunted

Cardan's
Tale.
"The

HANDS
ALL
ROUND
Nothing
was
more
common,
in
the
seances
of
Home,
the
"Medium,"
than
the
appearance
of
"Spirit
hands".
If
these
were
made
of
white
kid
gloves,
stuffed,
the
idea,
at
least,
was
borrowed
from
ghost
stories,
in
which
ghostly
hands,
with
no
visible
bodies,
are
not
unusual.
We
see
them
in
the
Shchapoff
case,
at
Rerrick,
and
in
other
haunted
houses.
Here
are
some
tales
of
Hands,
old
or
new.
