"I can't forget that terrible night. Our house is very old. The bedrooms are upstairs. These bedrooms are Dr Roylott's (my stepfather), my sister's, and my own. There are no doors between them, but they all open into the corridor. We were afraid of the doctor's Indian animals and locked our rooms at night. I couldn't sleep that night. It was a wild night. It was very windy and rainy. Suddenly I heard a terrible cry. I opened my door and ran into the corridor. I saw my sister. She was scared. She couldn't say a word before she died. The doctors found nothing.

Two days ago Dr Roylott started some redecorations in our house. Now I sleep in my sister's bedroom because there is a hole in my bedroom wall. Last night I suddenly heard a low whistle. I took the lamp but there was nothing in the room. I was very scared, I could not sleep and in the morning I came to London*."
