| Summary | "The Alleged Haunting of B---- House" by A. Goodrich-Freer and John, Marquess of Bute is a detailed investigation written in the late 19th century. The work presents a study of supposed paranormal phenomena and haunting experiences reported in a specific house, interspersed with historical context and personal accounts of those who encountered these disturbances, particularly during the tenancy of Colonel Taylor. The narrative aims to explore the nature of these occurrences, assess their credibility, and understand the psychological implications behind such hauntings. The opening of the book sets the stage by detailing Lord Bute's initial awareness of strange noises and disturbances at B---- House, beginning in 1892. Various accounts are recounted from individuals who experienced or investigated the noises, including a priest who reported hearing explosive sounds and physical disturbances such as loud knocks and raps. Notably, the introduction illustrates the skepticism surrounding these occurrences, with mentions of recommendations for scientific investigations using a phonograph as well as discussions about subjective hallucinations. Furthermore, the opening hints at a complex social narrative, where the hauntings attract attention and inquiry from both the curious and the skeptical, intertwining personal experiences and broader discussions of psychic phenomena.
