An account

The date of Miss Grace B.'s death was August 3rd, 1868; the time, I think, between 5 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon. 1 fancy she must have, as it seemed, appeared to my sister the same night after she was dead. We knew Miss Grace B. was ailing ; she was, in fact, on a visit at the time of her death ; but there was no thought of her dying. My sister had had no communication with her previously. I am nearly sure that Miss B. must have appeared to my sister the same night that she died. My sister always has seemed to know things difierent to other people. She seems to know when any one has died in any room. She seems either to feel, hear, or see the people. On one occasion we lived in an old house in Eastry, near here, and she saw, as it seemed, an old woman looking at her. The next morning when she described it to our cook who had been taking care of the house before we went into it, she said, ' Yes, that old woman once lived here.' [This, of course, may have been a purely subjective hallucination.] P.S. by the Bev. H. N. B. — There is no doubt that the appearance (so-called) took place on the night of the day on the afternoon of which Miss G. B. died. We have confirmed the date of the death by the Register of Deaths. [This is apparently a case of delayed recognition, similar to those given in Chap. XII., § 3.]
