Ghostly Proceedings at St Asaph.
Remarkable manifestations. (Special Telegram).
Extraordinary visitations are reported to have occurred at Fron Glas Farm, near St. Asaph, during the last two nights, baffling the vigilance of the police. The cattle and horses have been loosed from the stalls, the windows of the house smashed, and stones thrown at the inmates at meals, breaking the crockery. The boughs of trees surrounding the farm have been dismembered, and great havoc has been done in the garden. Sergeant Pearson is investigating the mysterious affair.

St Asaph.
Scaring the Citizens.
On Tuesday and Wednesday nights some exceedingly strange antics were cut by an unknown person at Fron Glas Farm. The cattle and horses were taken out of the stables, and the food all mixed together and put into bags. Whilst the family was at meals, large stones were thrown in, and one struck a cup which the son was conveying to his lips. The windows of the house have been smashed, and the boughs of the trees torn off and thrown about. The little daughter had her hand severely hurt.

Watching for the ghost.
The “ghostly visitations” at a farm near St. Asaph have not yet abated. Four policemen are stationed at the farm, and have as yet failed to elucidate the mystery. The other night a policeman was keeping vigil from the housetop, but he could see nothing in the form of a “ghost.”

Mystified Policemen.
The “ghostly visitations” at a farm near St. Asaph, which have been referred to previously, have not yet abated. Four policemen are stationed at the farm, and have as yet failed to elucidate the mystery. Windows have been broken, horses and cattle let loose, and other uncanny evidences of a so-called ghostly visitation have troubled the neighbourhood, and in the evening hundreds of people visit the spot in the expectation of seeing the “ghost,” but nothing has as yet transpired. The only reasonable explanation of the mystery is that the stupid freaks are the work of some person well acquainted with the neighbourhood, and a strenuous effort is being made to get at the bottom of it. On Sunday night a policeman was keeping vigil from the housetop, but he could see nothing in the form of a “ghost.”

The St. Asaph Ghost.
Sergt. Pearson, St. Asaph, has at last solved the “ghost” mystery at St. Asaph. On Monday the sergeant openly accused a female resident, aged about 15, of being the “ghost” who made all the mischief. This was not denied, and, moreover, on Monday the “ghost” was not in evidence.

News In Brief.
Through the intervention of Sergt. Pearson, the ghost scare at St. Asaph has abated. The officer set a watch, and was successful in detecting the disturber, whom he severely reprimanded for her rash acts.
