  1. Haunted Places

    I was coming along that same piece of road in the broad day - light when suddenly the front wheel of the bike stood right up in the air and I slid off the saddle onto the road. I looked all around for trace of stick or stone which might have lifted the bicycle but there was no sign of anything to interfere with it, yet it had risen suddenly right up in the air as if lifted by invisible hands.
    This happened near "Burtons' old house" (now in ruins)
