Excerpt from The Ghost of Jerry Bundler Somers. Haunted or not haunted, the fact remains that no one stays in the-house long. It's been let to several tenants since the time of the murder, but they never completed their tenancy. The last tenant held out for a month, but at last he gave up like the rest, and cleared out, although he had done the place up thoroughly, and must have been pounds out of pocket by the transaction. Malcolm. Well, it's a capital ghost story, I admit, that is, as a story, but I for one can't swallow it.
