{151} To be frank, in a haunted house the writer did once see an
appearance, which was certainly either the ghost or one of the
maids; 'the Deil or else an outler quey,' as Burns says.

{189} Mrs. Ricketts was a sister of Lord St. Vincent, who tried, in
vain, to discover the cause of the disturbances. Scott says
(Demonology and Witchcraft, p. 360): 'Who has heard or seen an
authentic account from Lord St. Vincent?' There is a full account
in the Journal of the S. P. R. It appeared much too late for Sir
Walter Scott also complains of lack of details for the Wynyard
story. They are now accessible. People were, in his time, afraid
to make their experiences public.

{190} The story is told by Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe, in his
Introduction to Law's Memorialls, p. xci. Sharpe cites no source of
the tradition.

{191} We are not discussing Dreams, which are many, but waking
hallucinations, which are, relatively rare, and are remembered,
unlike Dreams, whether they are coincidental or not.

{193a} The writer knows a case in which a gentleman, who had gone
to bed about eleven p.m., in Scotland, was roused by hearing his own
name loudly called. He searched his room in vain. His brother died
suddenly, at the hour when he heard the voice, in Canada. But the
difference of time proves that the voice was heard several hours
_before_ the death. Here, then, is a chance coincidence, which
looked very like a case of Telepathy. Another will be found in Mr.
Dale Owen's Debatable Land, p. 364. A gentleman died 'after
breakfast' in Rhenish Prussia, and appeared, before noon, in New
York. Thus he appeared hours after he died.
