Elder Vinal Lanpher, a Second Advent preacher living in Searsport, is troubled by curious manifestations at his house. In one particular chamber invisible visitors play such queer games as tumbling the clothes on the bed, throwing the furniture about, and other pranks, much like the noise of the Newburyport ghost. This happens half a dozen times a day if things are set to rights as often. The Elder is firmly persuaded that it is the work of the devil.
