few0 I confess - believe in the immo#talit* of the soul0 and in aa#itions which *ou have not the

have left thei# im#ess on eve#*thing about them. I .now0 indeed0 that oneCs envi#onment ma*

CLast summe# I went0 as *ou .now0 to ass the hot weathe# te#m in the town of %e#idian. /he
#elative at whose house I had intended to sta* was ill0 so I sought othe# >ua#te#s. Afte# some
difficult* I succeeded in #enting a vacant dwelling that had been occuied b* an eccent#ic docto#
of the name of %anne#ing0 who had gone awa* *ea#s befo#e0 no one .new whe#e0 not even his
agent. Be had built the house himself and had lived in it with an old se#vant fo# about ten *ea#s.
Bis #actice0 neve# ve#* e$tensive0 had afte# a few *ea#s been given u enti#el*. Fot onl* so0 but
he had withd#awn himself almost altogethe# f#om social life and become a #ecluse. I was told b*
the village docto#0 about the onl* e#son with whom he held an* #elations0 that du#ing his
#eti#ement he had devoted himself to a single line of stud*0 the #esult of which he had
e$ounded in a boo. that did not commend itself to the a#oval of his #ofessional b#eth#en0
who0 indeed0 conside#ed him not enti#el* sane. I have not seen the boo. and cannot now #ecall
the title of it0 but I am told that it e$ounded a #athe# sta#tling theo#*. Be held that it was ossible
in the case of man* a e#son in good health to fo#ecast his death with #ecision0 seve#al months
in advance of the event. /he limit0 I thin.0 was eighteen months. /he#e we#e local tales of his
having e$e#ted his owe#s of #ognosis0 o# e#has *ou would sa* diagnosisE and it was said
that in eve#* instance the e#son whose f#iends he had wa#ned had died suddenl* at the
aointed time0 and f#om no assignable cause. All this0 howeve#0 has nothing to do with what I
have to tellE I thought it might amuse a h*sician.
C/he house was fu#nished0 just as he had lived in it. It was a #athe# gloom* dwelling fo# one who
was neithe# a #ecluse no# a student0 and I thin. it gave something of its cha#acte# to me -
e#has some of its fo#me# occuantCs cha#acte#E fo# alwa*s I felt in it a ce#tain melanchol* that
was not in m* natu#al disosition0 no#0 I thin.0 due to loneliness. I had no se#vants that slet in
the house0 but I have alwa*s been0 as *ou .now0 #athe# fond of m* own societ*0 being much
addicted to #eading0 though little to stud*. 6hateve# was the cause0 the effect was dejection and
a sense of imending evilE this was eseciall* so in D#. %anne#ingCs stud*0 although that #oom
was the lightest and most ai#* in the house. /he docto#Cs life-si5e o#t#ait in oil hung in that
#oom0 and seemed comletel* to dominate it. /he#e was nothing unusual in the ictu#eE the man
was evidentl* #athe# good loo.ing0 about fift* *ea#s old0 with i#on-g#e* hai#0 a smooth-shaven
face and da#.0 se#ious e*es. Something in the ictu#e alwa*s d#ew and held m* attention. /he
manCs aea#ance became familia# to me0 and #athe# GhauntedG me.
COne evening I was assing th#ough this #oom to m* bed#oom0 with a lam - the#e is no gas in
%e#idian. I stoed as usual befo#e the o#t#ait0 which seemed in the lamlight to have a new
e$#ession0 not easil* named0 but distinctl* uncann*. It inte#ested but did not distu#b me. I
moved the lam f#om one side to the othe# and obse#ved the effects of the alte#ed light. 6hile
so engaged I felt an imulse to tu#n #ound. As I did so I saw a man moving ac#oss the #oom
di#ectl* towa#d meH As soon as he came nea# enough fo# the lamlight to illuminate the face I
saw that it was D#. %anne#ing himselfE it was as if the o#t#ait we#e wal.ingH
CGI beg *ou# a#don0G I said0 somewhat coldl*0 Gbut if *ou .noc.ed I did not hea#.G
CBe assed me0 within an a#mCs length0 lifted his #ight fo#efinge#0 as in wa#ning0 and without a
wo#d went on out of the #oom0 though I obse#ved his e$it no mo#e than I had obse#ved his
ent#ance.
COf cou#se0 I need not tell *ou that this was what *ou will call a hallucination and I call an
aa#ition. /hat #oom had onl* two doo#s0 of which one was loc.edE the othe# led into a
bed#oom0 f#om which the#e was no e$it. %* feeling on #eali5ing this is not an imo#tant a#t of
the incident.
CDoubtless this seems to *ou a ve#* commonlace Gghost sto#*G - one const#ucted on the #egula#
lines laid down b* the old maste#s of the a#t. If that we#e so I should not have #elated it0 even if it
we#e t#ue. /he man was not deadE I met him to-da* in <nion St#eet. Be assed me in a c#owd.C
Bawve# had finished his sto#* and both men we#e silent. D#. '#a*le* absentl* d#ummed on the
