Coleridge, I think it was, was once asked by a lady if he believed in ghosts, and he replied, No, madame; I have seen too many of them. Which is my case exactly. I have seen so many horrid visitants from other worlds that they hardly affect me at all, so far as the mere inspiration of terror is concerned.
