When the Comans had their house worked on before they moved in, the workers noted that it had a cold heart, a phenomenon often reported in haunted houses. The house had a central cylinder of air noticeably colder than its surroundings. There was also a dark closet that none of the workers would go into. Shining a flashlight into the gloom of the closet had little effect, and if you put the flashlight in the closet and shone it back at yourself, only a dim light could be seen.

 

 

One day a prolonged creak, followed by a loud crack as if a large timber had broken, was heard by all, and suddenly the cold heart was gone and the dark closet was no longer dark.

 

But that was by no means the end of odd events in their home. In a room they called the borning room, where generations of babies had been born over the years, the Comans would often hear murmuring, the faint sound of teacups and saucers perhaps, and the cooing of women who might have gathered to admire a new baby just born. The family was generally unafraid, though, as they felt theirs were friendly spirits.
