Abstract

The authors review various ghost episodes which have been reported in England. These include: moving of objects, noises caused by vibrations, whisperings, tearing and ripping of worn clothing, pulling off bed -clothes, incendiary effects, breaking of windows, etc. Sources of vibrations are given as being caused by running water on underground streams, by traffic, or by earthquakes. In all there have been 614 cases of this nature reported. It is concluded that the geophysical theory cannot uphold all cases reported; however, the episodes did occur during abnormally wet weather and abnormally dry weather, when subjected strain on houses also occurred. No other specific conclusions are drawn.
