Bedminster, Bristol (1865 and previously)

Mysterious Knockings At Bedminster.

To the Editor of the Bristol Mercury.

Sir, – If you can find a small space in your columns to insert an account of strange knockings heard in my house you will greatly oblige. Several times during the night these knockings are heard, which alarm me and my family very much: the rapping was so furious one night that it broke a paraffin lamp. I have been told by the neighbours that these strange noises have been heard these last twenty years, ever since the death of Mr Dingley, the fortune-teller.

I am, sir, yours, etc., Saml. Trencher. No. 5, Whitehouse-place, Bedminster, Bristol, Jan. 26, 1865.
