Über dieses Buch
The Haunted and the Haunters; Or, The House and the Brain by Edward Bulwer-Lytton - A friend of mine, who is a man of letters and a philosopher, said to me one day, as if between jest and earnest, "Fancy! since we last met I have discovered a haunted house in the midst of London.""Really haunted, -and by what?-ghosts?""Well, I can't answer that question; all I know is this: six weeks ago my wife and I were in search of a furnished apartment. Passing a quiet street, we saw on the window of one of the houses a bill, 'Apartments, Furnished.' The situation suited us; we entered the house, liked the rooms, engaged them by the week, -and left them the third day. No power on earth could have reconciled my wife to stay longer; and I don't wonder at it.""What did you see?""Excuse me; I have no desire to be ridiculed as a superstitious dreamer, -nor, on the other hand, could I ask you to accept on my affirmation what you would hold to be incredible without the evidence of your own senses.
