A light has been seen moving on the dock, then suddenly
extinguished, only to reappear again. Who carried it and why, no
one knows. Any one who has tried to approach the place has had a
scare thrown into him which he will not easily forget. For
instance, one man crept up and though he did not think he was seen
he was suddenly shot at from behind a tree. He felt the bullet
pierce his arm, started to run, stumbled, and next morning woke up
in the exact spot on which he had fallen, none the worse for his
experience except that he had a slight wound that will prevent his
using his right arm for some time for heavy work.
"After each visit of the phantom boat there is heard, according to
the story of the few neighbours who have observed it, the tramp of
feet up the overgrown stone walk from the dock and some have said
that they heard an automobile as silent and ghostly as the boat.
We have been all through the weird old house, but have found
nothing there, except enough loose boards and shutters to account
for almost any noise or combination of noises.
