“My son had a habit of remaining up reading novels till the small hours of the morning...”
My son had a habit of remaining up reading novels till the small hours of the morning + this certain night he was engaged at a Detective story when about two o'clock he suddenly heard three knocks on the window near him. Being very unafraid he opened the door + went out + examined high + low without result. He came in + began reading again + after some time the three knocks were repeated. He was certain now somebody was playing a trick on him + he brought out a flash lamp + dog + searched dóigh & andóigh but no account of the knocker was to be found. Still confident that it could be explained away he came in + began to read once more. The three knocks came again + louder than before. He got lonesome at last + was hardly able to walk up-stairs + get into bed + when inside the three knocks were again repeated on the window of his bed-room.
After that he heard no more though he slept no wink till morning but perspiring heavily. He firmly believe in the super natural after that.- Collector
