“Do You Believe in Ghosts?”

Newspaper clipping with illustration of smiling ghost and article titled "Do you Believe in Ghosts?" Visible text reads: above. Fearing he had been mistaken in signing the death certificate, he took the candle and went upstairs. The noise had stopped. The body lay on the bed as he had left it. The explanation? The doctor had experienced an auditory hallucination - a trick of the brain brought about by the old man's eerie suggestion. Telepathy Rectory, "the most haunted house in England" - said to be haunted by the ghost of a murdered nun. After questioning witnesses at Borley I left convinced that the reports were worthless. The main difficulty with the telepathic theory of uncanny experiences is in explaining those which are seen by two or more people at the same time. Again I have never been able to track down such a case, but there are many on the Psychical Research
