HAUNTED BED
“AN AURA OF TERROR” Though she has been flung out of a mysterious four-post bed and has received repeated warnings of evil, Miss Blanche Squire, of Hammersmith, London, refuses to part with it. It is an elaborately carved bed, heavily guilded. According to psychic experts it is surrounded by an aura of terror. “People have said that the only way to get rid of the evil influence surrounding it, is to have it burned. I have been told that, not once, but many times,” Miss Squires told an interviewer. Recently Mrs Estelle Roberts, the famous medium, called to see the bed. Speaking in a state of clairvoyance she said that 300 years ago a French nobleman was attacked and murdered wa’l2 he was asleep in the bed. Miss Squire, a grey-haired elderly woman, stated that once she was thrown clean out of the bed when she was sound asleep. “I am determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. I shall sleep in- the bed until I find out its secret,” she added.
