DOCTOR RECORDS PIXIE MUSIC
Two ghostly voices inspire Dr. Thomas Wood, composer of much successful music, as he works in his fifteenth-century home, Parsonage Hall, Bures. The spirit voices do not worry him; he is happy in the belief that his preTudor house is haunted. “We often hear an unseen couple talking,” he said. “At uighl the voices seem to come from the angle of I lie roof betwen the main Tudor building and its Jacobean wing. “The voices sound kindly, placid. 1 should think they belong to man and wife. Friends would be less constant; lovers more secretive. "The man’s voice is deep, pleasant in quality, and flexible. I picture (he woman ns a kind-hearted, competent housewife. But I have never seen them. Their voices are all I know of them.”
Other people, continued Dr. Wood, have heard the voices. Even sceptics had confessed themselves mystified. ■What is more remarkable, the voices have been heard distinctly by a completely deaf woman guest. Once Dr. Wood heard supernatural music. He wrote it down, and believes he is the first, to have a fragmentary record of pixie music.
