MODERN GHOST. Ghostly manifestations , which are said to have started at the witching hour of midnight and to have continued for some time, have been attracting thousands of people to a house at Cheltenham.- The police have had tobe called to control the crowd on the road.- The scene of the mysterious knot-kings and seratchings is the house of Mr and Mrs Hopkins, in Maude’s Elm Terrace, Swindon Road. According to local legend, Maude was a beautiful girl, who, in the Middle Ages lived at Swindon, a hamlet which stood where Swindon Road now is. Unfortunately for her she attracted the attention of the lord of the manor. Eater she was found drowned in a brook in circumstances which nowadays might, be awkward for her admirer, but then the verdict was suicide. It was at first thought that the noises which were heard were caused by rats, but when Mrs Hopkins knocked back she was answered. Rut Maude will have nothing to do with the male sex. She will reply to Mrs Hopkins, her daughter, and a woman llriend, but to advances made by men. even spiritualists and police, she will not reply. ’
