Thus the story runs: once upon a time there was a German student extremely popular with his companions and quite the life of his university. No one fenced better, sang better, danced better, did anything better than he. Suddenly it was noticed that his whole appearance changed. He became melancholy, silent, worn and dejected. After a time, one of the student body who had always been his intimate friend was deputed to speak to him on the subject of this strange alteration in him. It was very difficult to induce him to open his lips but after a long time and much pressing, he said, “Know then, I am every night pursued by a phantom. When the city clock(s) strike/struck 12 it emerges from the closet in my room opposite the foot of the bed and stands there until morning.” In reply to the question how this spectre was dressed, he said in green, with a high-crowned green hat. The student returned to his companions and they arranged among themselves that one of their number should be thus dressed and should be Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

After appearing and being supposed by the afflicted student to be the ghost, he would then reveal himself and so work his cure. Under this guise, on a certain night, the student was hidden in the ghost’s place with instructions to come forth when the city clocks struck 12. As the hour approached, he saw from his concealment that the sleeping student became frightfully agitated. When it struck and the other emerged, he raised himself in/on his bed with a distorted face, marked/wracked with every possible expression of horror, cried out in agony "My God, there are two", fell back and died.

He told it by the dying light of a wood fire with a high wind roaring outside. I ought to premise that he had been counsel in an action that afterwards shared of the gains attending a will made by one of the wards. This is the story: There were two old bachelor brothers of whom one reposed at Slough and the other at London. They were in the habit of visiting each other for a week or so at a time. It happened that the Slough brother, being on one of these visits to the London brother, felt rather unwell said ‘I will go home. My old housekeeper [will help] me. I shall soon be all right and will then come back. Once again they parted. A few nights afterwards, the London brother being in bed and finding himself uncomfortable and unable to sleep, lighted a candle and composed himself to read. Suddenly the door of his room opened and an appearance of his brother, dressed in white, pale and looking very attentively at him. He spoke to the figure but it made no answer. So it passed on to the end of the room Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The London brother’s immediate impression was that his mind was ill, had some fullness of blood in the region of the brain and had best be bled. So he put on his dressing gown to call up his servant. He heard the sound of a carriage in the street which came over and stopped at his door. On his opening the window and asking who was there, he was answered “A messenger to take you to your brother who is very ill [and] supposed to be dying.” Of course he accompanied the messenger instantly. When he arrived in his brother’s room, there were several people present. On sight of them all, the brother rose in his bed with difficulty and spoke these words: “John, you have seen me before tonight and you know it!” With that, he fell back on his pillow and never spoke another word.
