The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
87
A
large
number
of
these
cases
have
been
printed.
{85b}
In
one
case
a
gentleman
and
lady
from
their
window
saw
his
brother
and
sister-in-law
drive
past,
with
a
horse
which
they
knew
had
not
been
out
for
some
weeks.
The
seers
were
presently
joined
by
the
visitors'
daughter,
who
had
met
the
party
on
the
road,
she
having
just
left
them
at
their
house.
Ten
minutes
later
the
real
pair
arrived,
horse
and
all.
{85c}
This
last
affair
is
one
of
several
tales
of
"Phantom
Coaches,"
not
only
heard
but
seen,
the
coach
being
a
coach
of
the
living.
In
1893
the
author
was
staying
at
a
Highland
castle,
when
one
of
the
ladies
observed
to
her
nephew,
"So
you
and
Susan
did
drive
in
the
dogcart;
I
saw
you
pass
my
window".
"No,
we
didn't;
but
we
spoke
of
doing
it."
The
lady
then
mentioned
minute
details
of
the
dress
and
attitudes
of
her
relations
as
they
passed
her
window,
where
the
drive
turned
from
the
hall
door
through
the
park;
but,
in
fact,
no
such
journey
had
been
made.
Dr.
Hack
Tuke
published
the
story
of
the
"Arrival"
of
Dr.
Boase
at
his
house
a
quarter
of
an
hour
before
he
came,
the
people
who
saw
him
supposing
him
to
be
in
Paris.
{86}
When
a
person
is
seen
in
"Arrival"
cases
before
he
arrives,
the
affair
is
not
so
odd
if
he
is
expected.
Undoubtedly,
expectation
does
sometimes
conjure
up
phantasms,
and
the
author
once
saw
(as
he
supposed)
a
serious
accident
occur
which
in
fact
did
not
take
place,
though
it
seemed
unavoidable.
