Met 20 Ghosts;
Now An Expert
Washington Man Upsets Popular
Belief by Saying Hands
Not Clammy.
ONE GHOST BROUGHT APPLES
Liked All His Spooky Visitors Except
One Treat Them Kindly, Is His
Advice One Ghost Wore
Patched Garments.
Washington. Antlgonlsh nnd its
ethereal visitor, which apparently lias
gone on u ntrilTc since the arrival of
scientists and curiosity seekers, is
backed into Insignificance when com
pared to the bodyless visitors who
sometimes pick out Washington us a
ghostly rendezvous.
At leust so says William II. Bryson,
1002 M street, N. W., nmatcur ghost
chaser of the District, who allows that
since ho llrst started studying the
habits and mannerisms of spooks, flvo
years ago, lie has been visited by 20
assorted ghosts, all of whom turned
out with one exception to be ilrst rate
chaps.
Bryson, who until recently was em
ployed In the government service in n
8eml-sclcntlflc capacity, had come out
with tho blanket statement that ghosts
do linvo bodily characteristics nnd,
contrary to popular belief, tho hand
clasp of n spook Is warm nnd not cold
and clammy.
Whllu the hunter after tho habitat
of tho dweller in tho world beyond
has made no effort to photograph his
nocturnal visitors, ho says he has held
protracted conversations with mnny of
his friends and relatives who have
passed on.
One Ghost Carried Apples.
It might be said that llryson goes

"Now, cut out the 'monkey business'

This one Is tho prime favorite of the

Coloma, Cal. Tho historic

of the historic old homo still

ago woro silk gloves, or what appeared
to bo silk and felt like that material,
und wus carrying a few red apples.
Asked If ho had held any protrncted
conversation with bis ghostly friend
Bryson admitted ho had and went so
far as to say ho nto a shady npple.
Tho fruit hod no nnvor, ho said, but
Bryson declares that n coro was loft
nnd can produce It if occasion do
mands. On ono occasion, Bryson said, his
brother visited him nnd comnlnlneil
bitterly about conditions on thoT"mn nf I-hicoln being the last owner,
Florida sencoast where a Belf-respect-Ing
ghost of tho past deendo could
not enjoy himself. Whether it was
tho beach nymphs or tho conditions
regarding tho Influx of foreign spirits
from Scotland tho ghost did not say,
but he nevertheless said ho would
seek sonio other clime during tho win
ter or 1U23.
Tlio wandering ones nlso aro sub
ject to down-and-out periods in
"shndowland," Bryson states, as ono
friend who was rather opulent hero
camo wandering Into his room with
ghostly garments thnt had been
patched In several places.
Don't Like Cold Reception.
In this connection tlio saying that
"you can't take It with you" mny bo
erroneous, as tho spook gavo every
ovldcncc, according to tho spectator,
of being In need of n few shades of
greenbacks to buy n new set of gar

Another ghost that Bryson know In,
tho flesh, according to tho medium, ap
peared to him on one occasion and bit
terly berated him for having lost u
few dollars of ids whlio on earth In
a business denl. "In the future you
will see mo often," tho spook Is said
to have announced In tho languago of
tho beyond, nnd to provo It ho enmo
for bIx nights running.
Asked if ho ever becamo nervous at
tho nocturnal visitations, Bryson
hastened to remark that ho did not in
vito tho bodyless ones to visit him, but
did not put up signs that no spook
tralllc would bo nllowed.
Ho qualified ills last statement by
saying that n prohibitive sign would
only go to rllo tho departed ones nnd
ho would no doubt have Ills homo clut
