Apartment Haunting
Friday, June 29, 1926
By Harry Bishop

A night spent in the haunted apartments, that was the challenge. Harry Bishop, author of this article and  prominent ex-writer for the Globe, accepted it. Here is Harry's account of the experience.

I arrived at the apartments at about 8 PM, the light was dimming and it already had a creepy feel to it. Heading inside, I jumped as something upstairs made a bumping sound. “Probably a rat” I muttered to myself “Just a rat.” I could have sworn I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. Climbing the stairs to the higher floors, I found where the boy who committed suicide had slept. Climbing the stairs I began to hear voices. They where strange, like screams. I opened the door to his room. It was covered in a layer of dust, the floor was empty. He hadn't killed himself in this room, according to the report, he had gone to the basement and done it. As I left the room I stepped in something very sticky. As I looked down, I noticed a pool of blood around my feet. I ran out of the room, but it was gone. I decided to descend, rather shaken by now. The basement was normal, if a bit cold for the season. There was a rusty knife in the middle of the floor. Blood was on the blade. I ran.
