Phantom Haunts Farm

PHANTOM HAUNTS FARM.

Strange Happenings In a House In Yorkshire, England.

Uncanny happenings continue to thrill the villagers of Brierley, in Yorkshire, England.

The tenant of the "haunted" farm, Mr. Leybourne. appears to believe in a supernatural agency as firmly as an eminent literary man once did in the Cock lane ghost.

A sturdy gamekeeper stated that he had seen a kitchen chair topple over four times in succession and then fall on the floor, all with no visible external stimulus.

But the "ghost's" behavior toward the farmer and his wife is most deserving of reprobation. It pelted Mr. Leybourne with articles, dragged clothes and pillows from the beds and piled them in a heap and put the whole house in confusion.

The farmer is said to have been exasperated into leveling his gun at the visitant, visible on one occasion, but refrained from firing.

Meanwhile tables and chairs still move about the premises, and from the noises heard daily one might suppose that the lineal descendants of the mysterious disturbers of the Wesleys' house were in possession.
