The Most Haunted House

Strange Happenings in Old Suffolk Rectory Rectors Wife Struck and Thrown Out of Bed

The *most haunted house in England," standing in a remote Suffolk village of 120 people, is now without a tenant. Mr. Harry Price, Hon. Secretary of the University of London Council for Psychical Investigation, who has been directing observations there, considers the story of the house to be one of the most remarkable in his wide experience.

This must be the only case of a reputed haunting in which observers have. received. elaborate printed instructions. Those.on guard in this Suffolk rectory were told to watch for such phenomena as bell-ringing, footsteps, forms or apparitions, the inexplicable movement of objects; lights, perfumes, raps, or knocks, apports (objects abnormally brought or precipitated into the house), thermal variations and unaccountable disappearances.

All these manifestations have been noted in the house. Mr. Price, whose exhaustive book on the subject will be published next spring, told the complete story, for the first time, to a representative of "The Observer."

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
