For example: Ms Margaret Stewart, her TEAC.
A table rose from the floor and shifted sideways.
A desk bounced up and down three times.
A door opened as Virginia passe through and could not be shut.
"I don't believe in the supernatural but I was mesmerized by what I saw." Miss Stewart said.
"It looked like an elaborate practical joke. But there was no string and no one touched the desk when it moved."
Virginia's mother refuses to discuss rumors sweeping the village that her daughter has attracted a poltergeist (mischievous ghost) which follows her to school.
Villagers said they understood church authorities would be consulted to determine if this is a case warranting invocation of the rites of exorcism.
A member of the Society for Psychical Research, which often inquires into inexplicable events, said he was hoping to get a fuller report of the occurrences at Sauchei before deciding whether to send an investigator to the scene.
