READING

EDINBURGH GHOST (from 'Great British Ghosts'. Longman structural readers)

Edinburgh is very different from Glamis. Glamis stands alone, far from any town. Edinburgh is a busy and beautiful city. A lot of visitors go to Edinburgh to see the castle, the good shops and the old buildings. But Edinburgh, too, has its ghosts. Perhaps the strangest was the ghost at 15 Learmonth Gardens, in the 1930s.

In 1936 Sir Alexander Seton found a bone from an old Egyptian mummy, and she brought it back to Edinburgh, to their home at 15 Learmonth Gardens. Sir Alexander put the bone in a glass case on a table in the dining room.

After a few days, the Setons began to hear strange noises in the night. One night, the table in the dining room fell over... but no one was in the room.

A friend of the Setons was staying with them at the time, and he saw a 'strangely dressed person' going up the stairs.

The servants didn't like these noises or strange figures in the house, so they all left.

Sir Alexander locked the bone in another room. That night, loud noises from that room woke him up. He jumped out of bed and ran into the room with his gun... but no one was there. Someone, or something, had moved all the furniture, and had thrown all the books on the floor.

Lady Seton wanted to keep the bone, but Sir Alexander said, "No, we mustn't keep it. The bone is haunted'.

But where could he take it? He didn't want to sell it, and he didn't want to give to anyone. In the end, he burnt it on the fire.

The noises stoopped, the furniture didn't move any more and no one saw ghostly figures again. But Sir Alexander himself wrote: 'I have not been happy since that day'. This was true. Soon afterwards, Sir Alexander lost a lot of money, his wife left him and he was often very ill.
