Another cIod of earth came down, rolling, following the other two. “Sir Ghost, remove all our doubts and do favor us again.” But was that girl doing it? No, we could see from our position that she was busy doing her work of sweeping. Let me confess, this time we were all surprised. No sooner had I said this than there rolled another clod, and this time all three saw it. You have satisfied me, but not my friends. You should be impartial in the treatment of your guests. So they came close to me to examine the clod. They had heard the sound of the fall of the clod, but had not seen it coming down. No sooner had I said this than a clod of earth came rolling down the slope of the hut near which I was standing! This amused me greatly, for I could not believe that it was actually a ghost that had responded to my call. So I asked my friends to note the politeness of the ghost, which had actually listened to my request. “Sir Ghost, if you are here, please show yourself to us, for we are highly respectable gentlemen and you should behave properly with us.” My friends were a few yards from me talking together, and I took this opportunity of addressing the ghost in these words: Seeing that the girl was the only inmate of the house doing household work, we went outside chatting at random, nearly forgetting all about the ghost. The other inmates of the house, Gonori himself, his mother, about seventy, his wife, about forty-five, were all absent. On entering the house we found a girl about twelve sweeping the yard with a broomstick, the yard being surrounded with huts and wails. His house, as I said before, was situated in an open space only on one side of which there was a cluster of bamboo trees where the ghost might conceal himself, but even this would be impossible in day time if he was a fraud. On the following morning I went to Gonori’s house, which was about two minute’s walk from mine, accompanied by two friends, both of them highly educated and intensely intellectual. Gonori had incited a few friends to his house to pass the night with him to ‘protect him from the “pichash,” and thus, when they heard his groan they came to his rescue and brought him home. Evening was just setting in, and he was coming with the milk, when, no sooner had he left Gonori’s house, than a black and hideous “thing” pounced upon him and inflicted a blow upon his breast, so that be fell senseless with a groan. He said after great effort, for he could scarcely utter a word, that hearing that ghosts were playing mad pranks in the house of Gonori, he had gone to fetch the milk a little before the usual time be used to bring it – that is, before the sun had gone down. I asked Shiva, the servant, to explain the reason of his sorrowful plight. He was brought back almost in an unconscious state by a friend of Gonori just before evening. Gonori, being a milk man, supplied me with milk, and an Ooria servant of mine went to fetch it. I forgot all about it, when a strange incident brought the pranks of this ghost again to my notice. I asked him what the ghost was doing in his house, but he was not communicative and went his way. For Gonori had become a Christian, and was not likely to put faith in the existence of ghosts, lower or higher. I was a little surprised to hear this from him. I asked him about the ghost and he said: “Yes, sir, it is a ‘pichash,’” which means a ghost of very low degree. Shortly after I had heard this I saw Gonori himself. It came to my notice that ghosts had appeared In his house. Close to my house was that of one Gonori Mahato, which was also situated in an open place. I was in the town of Deoghur in my own house situated in an open place. It was in the month of December eight years ago that I witnessed a scene which proved that there are many things in earth and heaven that are not dreamt of in our philosophy. “A popular notion in India is that ghosts pelt stones, and I had an ocular demonstration of the fact. Ghose was one of the founding members of the Indian League and in later life edited the Hindu Spiritual Magazine, where the original report appeared. The author was Shishir Kumar Ghose (1840-1911), noted Indian journalist and founder of the Amrita Bazar Patrika, a well-known Bengali language newspaper, in 1868.

This Indian case, from the Hindu Spiritualist magazine in 1906 and reprinted in full in the The Daily Republican (Marion, Illinois) on June 16, 1906, closely follows the stone-throwing poltergeist playbook.
