Excerpt from The Scottish Review, Vol. 35: January and April, 1900

Other experiments were tried, as to the acoustic properties of the house, as to the existence of under-ground water, as to the effect of disuse of hot-water pipes, of cold-water pipes, of effects of echo, of draughts, of currents of air; doors were locked, were propped Open, chimneys used and disused, the servants' sleeping quarters changed, the night habits of neighbours, man and beast, noticed, the hours of passing trains and their effect under varying conditions noted, but nothing was observed which seemed in any degree to account for what was heard or seen. A distinguished electrical engineer and three men of science were among the guests, but they could suggest nothing that had not already been tried. The late proprietor refused to allow the use of a phonograph when suggested by Sir William Huggins, and the present proprietor equally refused to allow the introduction of seismic instruments at the suggestion of Professor Milne, to the great disappointment of the investigators. The house is very simply and substantially built, and has no dark corners or obscure passages, no wooden panels, nor echoing roof. A space sacred to bell wires and water pipes at the junction of the roof and the wall seemed to promise possibilities of explanation, and, indeed, a bowl or tennis ball rolled along it, imitated fairly well one of the slighter sounds as heard from below but granted that at intervals for a quarter of a century someone obtained access to an obscure spot only to be entered on hands and knees through a door usually screwed up, many varieties of disturbance remained. Nor did the discovery that bees had taken possession of another hollow under the roof carry things much further. An appendix is given on the sound known near the Ganges as that of Barisal guns,' and described by Professor D;trwin, - ou similar sounds known on Dartmoor, among the hills of Cheshire, in the Eastern counties of England, in Connecticut.
