The English Society for Psychical Re- search is still vigorously pursuing its inves- tigations and is about to publish Part XV. uf its proceedings, containing articles on apparitions duplex personality, seances with the celebrated medium, D. D. Home, i&c. The following case comes from Mr. Wilfrid Ward (and Lord Tennyson, for whom it was first committed to writing some vears ago). It was sent by Mrs. Peunee, of St. Anne de Beaupre, Quebec, daughter of the late William Ward (a Con- servative M. P. for London), and sister of the late Rev. A. B. Ward, of Cambridge : Westoy Manor, Fresawater, Isle of Wight, 1884. It was in the year 1856 that my husband took me tolive at a house called Binstead, about five miles from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. lt wasa good sized house, and at the back had been considerably ex- tended to allow of extra oflices, since there were about two hundred acres of farm land around it, necessitating several resident farm- |ing men. Although forming part of the house i these premises could only be entered through ‘the inner kitchen, as no wall had ever been broken down to form a deor or passage from up stairs. Thas the farming men’s sleeping | rooms were adjacent to those occupied by the | family and visitors, although there was no communication through the upstairs corridor. It was always in or near the sleeping apart- ment immediately adjacent to the men's that the apparition was seen, and, as that was one of our spare bedrooms, it may have frequent- ly been unperceived. About ten days after we had extablished ourselves at Binstead we commenced hearing strange noises. For many weeks they were of very frequent occurrence and were heard simultaneously in every part of the house, and always appeared to be in close proximity toeach person. The noise was more like a rumbling, which made the house vibrate, like that produced by dragging a heavy body, which one so often hears in ghost stories. As spring came on we began to hear shrieks which would grow fainter or louder, as if some one was being chased around the house, but always culminating in a volley of shrieks, sobs, moans, and _ half-uttered words, proceeding from beneath a tree that stood at a little distance from the dining room window, and whose branches nearly touched the win- dow of the bedroom I have mentioned It was in February (I think), 1857, that the first apparition came under my notice. Two ladies were sleeping im the bedroom. Of course, for that season of the year a fire had been lighted in the grate, and the fireplace really contained a grate and not an American substitute for one. About two o’clock Mrs. M. was awakened E. ISLAND, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1889. VOL.25.—NO. 156 capital farmer. It was he who added all the back wing of the house and made the neces- sary divisions, &c,, fur farming the land. He had two sisters in his service, the daughters of a laborer who lived in a regular hovel about three miles nearer town, After a time each sister gave birth to a boy, Veryyittle can be learned of the domestic ar- rangements,since Pigott boreso bada name that the house was avoided by respectable people; but it is certxin that one sister and one baby disapperred uliogether, though when and how is a complete mystery. When the other baby was between one and two years old Piygot sold Binstead to an Eng- lish gentleman named Fellowes, from whom we hired it, with the intention of eventually buying it. The other sister returned to her father's house, and leaving the baby with Mrs. Newbury, her mother, went to the States end has never returned Before leaving she would reveal nothing, except that the boy was her sister's, her own being dead. It was this very Harry Newbury that we had unwittingly engaged as farm servant. He came to bid me farewell a few months after I left Binstead, saying he would never return there. In 1877 I inquired about him, and fousd that he had never been seen since in Prince Edward Island.

On her left arm was a young baby, and with her right hand she was stirring the ashes, over | which she was slightly stooping. Mrs. M. pushed Miss C. to awaken her, and just then the figure turned her face toward them, disclosing the features of quite a young woman with a singularly anxious pleading look upon her face. They took notice of a little check shawl which was crossed over her bosom. Miss C. had previously heard some tales concerning the house being haunted (which neither Mrs. M. nor I had ever heard), so jumping to the conclusion that she beheld a ghost she screamed and pulled the bed- clothes tightly over the heads of herself and her companion, so that the sequel of the ghost’s proceedings is unknown. The following spring I went home to Eng- land, and just before starting I hadmy ownex- perience of seeing a ghost. 1 had temporarily established myself in the room, and one even- ing, finding my little daughter (now Mrs. Amyot) iar from well, had her bed wheeled in beside inine that I might attend to her. About twelve o'clock 1 got up to give her some medicine, and was feeling for the matches when she called my attention to a brilliant light shining under the door. 1 ex- claimed that it was her papa, and threw open the door to admit him. I found myself tace to face with a woman. She had a baby on her left arm, a check shawl crossed over her bosom, and ajl around her shone a bright, pleasant light, whence emanating I could not say. Her look at me was one of entreaty— almost agonizing entreaty. She did not enter the room but moved across the staircase, vanishing ivto the opposite wall, exactly where the inner man’s servants room was situated. : Neither my daughter nor myself felt the slightest alarm ; at the moment it appeared to bea matter of common occurrence. When Mr. Pennee came up stairs and | told him what we had seen he examined the wall, the staircase, the passage, but found no traces of anything extraordinary. Nor did my dogs bark. On my return from England in 1858 I was informed that ‘‘ the creature had been carry- ing on,” but it was the screams that had been the worst. However, Harry (a farm servant) had had several visits, but would tell no par- ticulars. I never could get Harry to tell me much, He acknowledged that the woman had several times stood at the foot of his bed, but he would not tell me more. One night Harry had certainly been much disturbed in mind, and the other man heard voices and sobs. Nothing would ever induce Harry to let anyone share his room, and he was most careful to fasten his door before retiring. At the time I attached no importance to “‘his ways,” as we called them. In the autumn of the following year, 1859, my connection with Binstead ceased, for we gave up the house and returned to Char- lottetown. I left Prince Edward Island in 1861, and went to Quebec. In 1877 I happened to re- turn to the Island, and spent several months there. One day 1 was at the Bishop’s resi- dence, when the parish priest came in with a letter in his hand. He asked me about my residence at Binstead, and whether I could throw any light on the contents of his letter. It was from the wife of the then owner of Bin- stead, asking him to come out and try to de- liver them from the ghost of a young woman with a baby in her arms, who had appeared several times. After I went to live in Charlottetown I be- came acquaintel with the following facts, which seem to throw light on my ghost story. The ground on which Binstead stood had been cleared in about 1840 by a rich English- man, who had built a very nice house, Get- ting tired of colonial life, he sold the property tc a man whose pame I forget, but I will call (that was like the name).
