Invisible Rappers.
A house at Morton, near Bourne, Lincolnshire, has lately been known locally as “the haunted house.” For some time, it is alleged, the occupiers have been disturbed at nights by unaccountable rappings at the door. When this had gone on for some time the village policeman secreted himself to see if anyone was playing pranks, but he saw nothing, though the knocks continued while he was there, being so loud occasionally that they were audible to the next-door neighbour. Many people now visit the house to hear the tappings.
