The author recounts firsthand strange and violent phenomena occurring in a small village cottage while a particular young woman is present: persistent knocking, loud noises, unexplained fires, furniture moving in daylight, and powerful shaking of the house. He records local reactions and visits by investigators who propose electrical, mesmerist, or diabolical causes, and provides detailed observations from six weeks living in the house. Chapters describe the household setting, episodes of disturbance, the young woman's central role in the manifestations, and the author's efforts to document and interpret them.
