Note: Jessica Amanda Salmonson, in her 1988 The Supernatural Tales of Fitz-James O'Brien, Volume One: Macabre Tales writes: "William Winter altered the story in his [1881] edition, which has been the source of most reprintings. Some editors shortened it even further. This is the first reprinting of the complete text" from 1859.
Synopsis: A boarding house is haunted by what turns out to be an invisible creature.
