- The German Ghost
Shortly afterwards we had a visitation from another ghost. Like all good ghosts he was never seen except by night. Peculior characteristics of this ghost that he wore a bowler hat, sported fine brushing mustaschios of a bright colour & was ubiquitousness personified. He was seen everwhere but seemed to prefer rivers, bridges, wells, & hellocks. He also frequented the bog lands but was never known to carry a lantern. So he couldn't be "Jack o' the lantern' or 'Willy' the Wisp'. We finally discovered his diuenal headquarters - the pig-house of a half-built cottage Inetou's gate (page 5 supra) There we discovered that he boiled his kettle & pot over 4 candles & lived for the most part on tinned food. After this discovery the people concluded that he meant be 'a man for reading the stone' & and some of them even pronounced him an astronomer. When the policed finally got his tract he was arraigned at the local Petty Sessions & deported as a German spy, all his carefully prepared maps being confiscated.
