Ferozepore Village Poltergeist.
Inquiries from the public.
From our own correspondent, Moga, Oct.24.
Several Europeans have written to the Sub-Inspector in charge of the Baghapurana police station inquiring about the report that bricks have been falling into a constable’s house. Some of them have expressed the desire to study the phenomenon scientifically.
A girl named Raj Bibi, aged 9, who is a relation of the constable and is in some mysterious way connected with the phenomenon, has now been dispatched to a village in Hissar.
It is stated that one day she surprised her relations and the villagers by speaking fluently in flawless Urdu which had never been taught her. It appears that the moment she swung her arm bricks fell in the house. The girl was unconscious of what she was doing and when asked why she moved the arm like that so frequently she expressed her inability to account for it. She fainted often and fell in delirious its during which her voice lost its feminine note and she gave the impression of one being “possessed.”
The bricks seldom struck anybody or if they did they did not cause injury. A family has had a similar expreience in the village before but not in the same house.
