I don't give credence to ghosts. Of course I've heard of them, who hasn't. But I always deduced that notwithstanding all their supposed spookiness, I've never heard report of them killing or injuring anyone; a little fright now and then is all, and that possibly without intention. So, if there are such things, then given their ghastly, but harmless history, they're as harmless as a passing breeze... So what's the big deal?

It was, if I recollect, the third night I slept there, that I started to hear bumping noises in the other rooms, that is to say, the kitchen, bathroom, parlor and dinette... It was a small house as stated, but it fit me fine. Reckoning the noises was consequent of the fact the domicile was old, I endured them. But as the days passed, the noises grew more strange, and also, I felt, more diliberate and intentional, which of course made no sense. Now this
