Jasper County Democrat, Volume 6, Number 45, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 February 1904 — Laying the “Ghost.” [ARTICLE]

Laying the “Ghost.”

The Earl of Onslow tells a very effective story. His beautiful old place, Clandon, suddenly became possessed of a “ghost,” and the servants of the place were almost terrified out of their wlta by the noises they heard and the sights they saw or Imagined. The reputation of the mansion became noised abroad, and at last Ix»rd Onslow took u short cut to end the mystery. He assembled his servants and gave it oat to them that lie was determined to bave no more of this sort of thing. For the future all members of his family would sleep with loaded revolvers by their side, and at the first suggestion of a noise they would send a bullet in its direction to investigate the cause. Clandon nowadays is quite commonplace in Its immunity from the uncanny.—London Globe.
