Unquiet Grave:

THE PICTURES:

Mr. Williams works in a museum and helps complete an exhibition of pictures of English houses and churches. One day, a vendor who usually sells paintings sells him one in which he does not put the origin or the author because the label is broken, but on it it can be read -ssex and they believe the house is in Essex. When Binks a friend of Mr. Williams goes with him, they observe that the painting is of a large house with grass in front and you can see someone's head in the painting. They leave him in an office while they work and when people leave the museum and look at him again, they see that he has changed and that there is a figure crouched on the lawn, dressed in black and with a cross painted on his back. They call another friend of his and he sees that the painting has changed again and that now the house is in the moonlight, that there is no figure, and that there is an open window. They believe that the creature wants to enter the house to do something, and they call a friend of his, Dr. Green who lived in Essex to tell them what that house is and if something horrible happened in it, but as his friend is not in Home decide to wait and see if it changes again. They are going to have tea and when they come back in the box you can see a barefoot figure dressed in black running across the lawn and carrying a child in his arms. The next day there is no figure and Dr. Green returns home and explains that Sir Arthur Francis lived with his family in that house, that they were very rich and how they had forests sometimes people would steal fish from their lakes Or kill their birds. Sir Arthur was catching all the thieves except one named Gawdi, but in the end he catches him with some dead birds, he fights him, takes him to trial and Gawdi is hanged. The Francis' boy mysteriously disappeared and some say he was a friend of Gawdi as a revenge, but others say it was Gawdi himself who returned from the grave to take him away. Mr. Williams hangs the painting in his museum, but as much as he looks at it he has not changed again.

RATS:

A man tells the story of Mr. Thomson, a young student who goes to an inn in Suffolk to study because it is a very quiet place and in that inn he is the only guest. His plan is to stay there for a month, study in the morning and walk in the afternoon and go to the bar. One day when he was walking he saw a huge rock with a hole that had surely held a pole long ago. He goes to the bar and asks Mr. Betts, the innkeeper and he tells him that before there was a pole but that the sailors threw it down because they said it gave them bad luck. One day Mr. Thomson decides to stay studying instead of going for a walk, the innkeepers leave and when the student pauses to rest while walking through the inn he discovers a small door. He opens it and sees someone in a bed covered with a white sheet up to his head, but he is not dead because he moves and trembles as if it were cold. Mr. Thomson leaves there quickly but very quietly so as not to wake up to whatever he was under that sheet and wants to go home, but decides to stay another week so that the innkeepers do not discover why he goes so fast. When the day comes for him to leave, when his bags are already at the entrance and the innkeepers to say goodbye to him, he tells them that he has forgotten a book, climbs upstairs and looks back into the room, but now the creature has no savanna and is like a kind of scarecrow with chains on the neck that moves and shakes and has bony feet. Mr. Thomson runs out of the room, runs downstairs and passes out at the door of the inn, and when he wakes up the innkeepers tell him that he should not have entered there and they tell him that what is there is the ghost of the old innkeeper there As he was a thief and killed the guests, he was hung on a pole, but the sailors threw him down because the corpse scared away the fish. Then the ghost returned there and they locked him up. They ask Mr. Thomson to say nothing and say nothing until the day he becomes very old and tells the story to the father of the man who tells the story.

THE EXPERIMENT:

Squire Bowles dies suddenly (in fact his wife had poisoned him to keep his money), and asks to be buried in the ground, without a grave or coffin. He has no family except his wife and stepson, and in his will he puts nothing to leave them any money. Mrs. Bowles and her son search all over the house and in their files but don't put anything or anything. Finally, the son finds a letter from Squire to a friend, Mr. Fowles, in which he says he has discovered in a book that when a man dies his spirit is close to where he was buried and if he is called with the right words he reveals where Save all your money. That night Mrs. Bowles sends her son, Joseph to his father's grave to ask him where he keeps the money with a cloth to keep dirt from his grave while he sleeps and that the spirit tells him. The next morning, he tells his son to give him the cloth so that the servants don't see it and tell him what happened. He tells him that his father's spirit showed up at night, that he is now free that he was angry and that he wanted to see them, that he spoke like a dog growling and tells him that part of his money is in Amsterdam. They go to Holland in a boat because the spirit of the father is angry, and when they arrive the boatman tells them that they are very light luggage, like the only other passenger on his ship that night. The woman asks him if he knows who he is and he tells them no because he covers his face with a cloth, but has told him that he knows them. After that all the women who poisoned their husbands were mysteriously killed, burned to death. It is said of one who died like this and his son was hanged days later. At the end of the story, if you dare try the experiment: Say 3 times the name of a dead man in front of a grave, take dirt on a cloth and sleep with it and he will tell you where his money is.
