Letter
of
31st
January,
1884.
{200}
Six
separate
signed
accounts
by
other
witnesses
are
given.
They
add
nothing
more
remarkable
than
what
Miss
Morton
relates.
No
account
was
published
till
the
haunting
ceased,
for
fear
of
lowering
the
letting
value
of
Bognor
House.

Mr.
A.
H.
Millar's
Book
of
Glamis,
Scottish
History
Society.
{202}
This
account
is
abridged
from
Mr.
Walter
Leaf's
translation
of
Aksakoff's
Predvestniki
Spiritizma,
St.
Petersburg,
1895.
Mr.
Aksakoff
publishes
contemporary
letters,
certificates
from
witnesses,
and
Mr.
Akutin's
hostile
report.
It
is
based
on
the
possibility
of
imitating
the
raps,
the
difficulty
of
locating
them,
and
the
fact
that
the
flying
objects
were
never
seen
to
start.
If
Mrs.
Shchapoff
threw
them,
they
might,
perhaps,
have
occasionally
been
seen
to
start.

Precisely
similar
events
occurred
in
Russian
military
quarters
in
1853.
As
a
quantity
of
Government
property
was
burned,
official
inquiries
were
held.
The
reports
are
published
by
Mr.
Aksakoff.
The
repeated
verdict
was
that
no
suspicion
attached
to
any
subject
of
the
Czar.
{205}
The
same
freedom
was
taken,
as
has
been
said,
with
a
lady
of
the
most
irreproachable
character,
a
friend
of
the
author,
in
a
haunted
house,
of
the
usual
sort,
in
Hammersmith,
about
1876.

John
Wesley,
however,
places
Hetty
as
next
in
seniority
to
Mary
or
Molly.
We
do
not
certainly
know
whether
Hetty
was
a
child,
or
a
grown-up
girl,
but,
as
she
always
sat
up
till
her
father
went
to
bed,
the
latter
is
the
more
probable
opinion.
As
Hetty
has
been
accused
of
causing
the
disturbances,
her
age
is
a
matter
of
interest.
Girls
of
twelve
or
thirteen
are
usually
implicated
in
these
affairs.
Hetty
was
probably
several
years
older.
