Yes, So I try and keep the house like it
was in the old days. See all by myself been fun.
And then noises heard noises? What kind of news? People
beating out door.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Rattling a latch every night. I'm not afraid, doctor. I
got up, went all over the house. Noises stopped. After
a while it was a dream. Beating on the door someplace.
What always sounded like it came from right over there.
(07:52):
You see, there isn't any door there.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
That's what I thought. My hands are cold. I've been
out the sign. Oh no, no kind of what it is.
I haven't that much time. Huh have I.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
No, I just haven't got much time all left.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
And I have to hurry. Shut your eyes or you
can see what I saw. I mean I didn't see
it see because it was dark. So when you shut
your eyes, you you feel the way I felt.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
H I.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Ah, a lot of lines.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
I I walked over the house, lights on, no sound,
no hammering on the door, no door. I turned off
the lights. That starts again from right over there. I
turned on the lights, no door, no noise.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Now I got an idea. I turn off the lights again.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
I walk over where the sound comes from, and there
is a door, and I I think I hear a
woman crying and footsteps and turnature being shut around. I
I said, I wasn't scared, did I Whether I wasn't there,
(09:30):
he'd be scared too, finding a door where there isn't
any door, and and there's somebody on the other side.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
But that's the outside wall of the house. Lines. No,
why there's a room there, the room where the ghosts
that you see? No, I don't. I didn't know it too.
(09:58):
Got your eye shut? Yes, if if you could hear
the noise like I.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Heard it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Right, the pounding, people pushing her shoulders against the locked door,
and I could smell smoke.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
You see, I didn't know about the ghost stand what.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Do you know now?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I'm I'm trying to tell you. I side keep your
eyes shut. Ione should to feel the way I felt.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
I Billie. I reached for the lights again. I turned
them on.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Nothing happens, just nothing. They stept pounding on the door,
flowing out. Then the woman crying and I hear her scream,
what screw she said, it's French.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
She needs help help.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I heard her voice again, frightened. I really looked what
she said. That's French to me and opened the door.
So they tried to open it. Then it was locked
and they were pounding and she was coffee. And the
last they found a key like the door open. Then
(11:15):
the ghosts came out.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Him.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
The lights came back on it. There wasn't any door,
There wasn't anybody in the room with me, and I
heard something.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Somebody walking across the.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Floor down the hall. So they turned and went down
the hall after the footsteps down down toward my room.
And then they stopped then cause the towre to my
room closed and somebody locked it. You cleaned it, No,
it was locked from the inside.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
So it was every other door in the house. Oh,
but I couldn't be try the doors. Open your eyes
and dry the doors. Go ahead, lie inside, Go ahead,
I'll keep on talking. You you have to believe me.
(12:19):
Go ahead. So what did I do?
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I lay down here to them work with the lights on,
and I tried to think, and nothing made me sense.
I got up and I dried the outside door. It
was un unlocked, so I went outside. They had some
crazy idea maybe there wasn't room there. That wasn't, of course,
(12:47):
but there were footprints in this and all, some men's footprints,
and and the girl's. This last nose covered 'em off again.
I guess, well, what about the noise?
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Doctor? Then luck ill they again inside? You could see
did you hear anything?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
When I I thought I heard someone moved home? Decided
to awaken somebody? Whatever was probably my imagination how it
wasn't it. Oh h uh, yeah, he's so tired. Well, no, no,
(13:36):
back you no, sohen I.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Came back in and I said down, and I hardly
noticed that the lights were up again. And then I
heard something else, and I said, who was that? H
woman's voice absent?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Mean about a well whose melanie?
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Once I was a maid in the house in the
time of the wood, when the soldiers were captured on
Christmas night at Clinton, and these escaped and came here
to be hidden, and by miss your mood, well he
was no machians.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
And they were.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
They would make a me surprised till I wasn't very
conve uptor she would write, I'm telling me how Mars
was alas, how he hid the officers, and how the
neighbor had suspected to him spied on him.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Then why must go away? You see sce I was
left alone to bring food to the poor soldiers. And
there was a knight when I took their foot to them,
And when I would go from the room, I found
the door to be locked.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
From the other side. The soon smelled the smoke of
the fire, but someone had set fire to the house
to destroy the room.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
And we beat upon the door, but it did not
have them, And so we've perished in the fire.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
I in the British officer, and there was none to
know our seats and for our teams.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
We are bound forever to this house, although I am
not sins, very grateful, and I would thank you for
releasing us from that room. For so many times we
have cried out, yet.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
No one would open the door, and I opened the door.
But now all my doors are locked against me.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Yes, they say it is very house now and no
man can open the doors again.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
I think we'll see about that. These men must go away.
Well I'm not going away. I should be sorry when
you go away.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You would.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
You have released us? I am grateful, as I think
they be grateful too.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
They are soldiers year, and they have not forgotten the
manner of you. This is their revenge that no men
shall live in the house.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Well, that's fine, and can be chased out of my
house by a bunch of ghosts. How do you feel
about it?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I could wish you could always be here with you,
so yes, monsieur, But it cannot be unless.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Unless what it cannot be. If I turned on the lights,
could I see you.

and it put blue like my eyes in the end,
and there was a cap of lace on my gum.
Speaker 3 (17:19):

Speaker 2 (17:23):
And and I was struck with a sudden impulse to
see this girl with her black hair, and the tap
of the dress matched her eyes.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
And then jumped up and snapped my sun. And her
room was empty, and so I knew I'd been dreaming.
Oh cool, But I wasn't dreaming my friend. She came
to me the next night and the next Oh it's
