Gliding, Silent Female Phantom Sefs Golden Hill Talking Ghost Westport, Conn., Residents Say Spook Haunts Deserted House and Floats Along Beside Men.’ The Ghost of Golden Hill seems to be the legitimate suecessor to the Ghost of Antigonish. And this ghost has the advantage of being a whole Jot nearer to New York than the one up in Nova Scotia. Golden Hill is an eminenco just outside the town of Westport, Conn., which, as every one knows, Is an artistic-literary colony up the New Haven Railroad way. But is there really a ghost of Golden Hill? Everybody up Westpoft way is talking about it and declaring that William Dennert and John Guyer, long-time residents of the town, saw it on separate occasions. But Dennert jand Guyer declare emphatically they Mever saw any such thing—so there you are. The village gossip runs this’ way: Dennert one night was walking past @ tumble-down house standing on Property owed by a man named Hart when the figure of a woman emerged through the broken gate, moving slowly, with a shawl over her head. “Evening, neighbor,” said Dennert according to the custom, though he could not see the woman's face. There was no response, although the woman came abreast of the farm- er and kept moving alongside of him. “Looks like spring's come, ma‘am,"* said Dennert as his @6trange com- panion kept progressing beside him along the dark road. Still no answer. Then the farmer chanced to look downward and he Roticed something strange ‘The ‘woman's feet were not mi She gliding through the alr alongside * of him. Dennert left that vicinity in as much haste as the historically famous British spy the Westporters will fondly tell you about. And Dennert must have gone some, for with feet Hitting the ground every few yards he outdistanced the ghost, whose fect Gn: have to hit it at all, the same ing a considerable advantage in a race. Shortly after Dennert had his ex- perience a like adventure (so the yarn goes) befell Guyer, who is by profession a ‘fixer of antiques''—the shawled figure, the responseless mouth, the discovery of the glide, the getaway. “It all never happened,” said Mr. Dennert yesterday when he was found at bis home on the outskirts of West- “No, sir, I guess the young are having a little fun. J never naw the lady ghost; neither did John Guyer, But they're all saying there must be one.” In addition to declaring he hadn't geen this ghost, Mr. Dennert said he wasn't afraid of ghosts anyhow; and neither should he be, for he lives right across the road from the West- port cemetery, where they would be most likely to have a habitat, and they have never bothered him yet, Dr. Prince, who laid the ghost of tigonish by declaring that Mary len, a certain prankish young Nova Scotia girl, had been fooling her fam- lly and friends, has not been invited to Westport yet to investigate, but well-known colonists up there are willing to go out to Golden Hill and) bee what they can see. Clive Weed, the caricaturist, de elared yesterday he 1s quite ready to e a ‘walk with the shawled figure he can find it, and might even teach her a few new glides. Guy Pene Du Bois, the painter, said he would like to go too, and he was sure Henry Raleigh and Clark Fay nd John Held jr., the illustrators, might go along to do the picture stuff, with Caroline Bean, the crayon- itist, to put the proper colors Kind in This City. stood about Bishop Shipman the sun of Easter morn rose. comed the day of rejoicing f moted for the first time here ularity and attendance in yegrs when it becomes more kgown. fered a brief, simple prayer priate to the occasion.
