Missile Throwing by Unseen Hands.
V. Flamen, a correspondent of La Lumiere, quotes the following from the Journal de Nimes, under the heading of “Une Maison Mysterieuse”:
Mme Hilair, Laitiere, who lives in Rue Turenne (Nimes), was surprised one Saturday evening, about six o’clock, to hear a noise as if a stone were thrown against her house. She was, however, more alarmed soon after at hearing a veritable shower of missiles strike against the outside of the house, and made such an outcry that a large number of the neighbours assembled around the building. All was quiet then for a short time. However, in the course of ten minutes more missiles were thrown by invisible hands, which continued at intervals of ten minutes until midnight. Then the police left without discovering the cause of the stone-throwing. At seven o’clock the missile-throwing recommenced. Large brickbats, stones, and two or three broken bottles struck the house.
