where the supper was
served. To obtain re-hypnotism it was necessary for the disturbers to
approach the house. Their object would easily be affected with people
already hypnotised in the railway station or train.

These would suffer from fatigue and nervousness, but would put it down to
the journey.

The approach to the house with rights of way close by would be very easy.
The brave garrison who were so well commanded by Miss Freer, and who,
with three or four exceptions, support her account, were generally
affected (if well known, and not as Mr. Z., the editor's son, too
dangerous) on the first night of their arrival at B----.

Miss Freer and Miss Moore, her comrade who shared her bedroom during the
greater part of the B---- siege, were thus attacked. Mr. L.F. was
disturbed, and also Colonel Taylor (in whose name the house was taken,
and who was almost impervious to influences), on their first night at
B----. Why the Honourable E.F. did not suffer at all is not clear.
Perhaps he was left alone on account of his scientific capacities.

Three gentlemen who arrived together were not affected; there is strength
in numbers; and whilst people talking to each other are harder to
influence for two or three reasons, they further unconsciously watch over
each other. Mr. W. stayed two days and heard nothing; his scepticism
was convinced later. Mr. MacP. experienced nothing in four nights, but on
a later visit heard sounds. Mr. C., an Edinburgh solicitor, heard voices
in the glen, on the second occasion of a vision being seen there by Miss
Freer, which was during his first visit.

Perhaps it may be guessed that the three gentlemen travelled with no
heavy luggage, and their identity and destination was not detected. The
vision seen most was that of a nun in the black dress commonest among
nuns.

It was seen moving about on a very steep bank, a bank apparently too
steep for walking, and was only visible against the snow. Miss Freer did
not look on the bank for tracks.

It may be noted that on the two previous days in the neighbourhood of
this glen a terrier, who never barked except under strong excitement, had
barked at the same hour, but no vision was seen; on the 6th of February
the dog had been taken off in another direction. After seeing the vision
in the glen, Miss Freer almost always heard strange sounds at night.

The inference is that in the glen, where there was plenty of cover, and
where, judging by the dog's bark
