“I had not found it easy to get to sleep. The night had been quite silent and uneventful, but I kept thinking about Miss Linsey’s ghosts. If Miss Mildred’s story of the light at the cottage, and the digging, was true – as seemed to be proved by the disturbed patch near the toolshed and the state of the coal shovel – then it was possible, just possible, that Miss Linsey’s story of the couple with the light at the site of the old caravan might have some truth in it as well. As for her ‘seeing’ of ...the young Lilias running up the lonnen with a bag in either hand, that was a story known by this time to everyone in the village, and she had admitted it to be merely a dream, but I was well aware that she had not been called a witch for nothing. I could think of at least two occasions when her prophetic ‘dream’ of a disaster had been right, and on one of those occasions a life had been saved. So it might at least be worth looking into. But her story of the couple encountered in the cemetery was harder to explain.MoreLessRead More Read Less
