Superstitious Colliers.
Despite every inducement to it to make another appearance, no more has been seen of the Abertridwr ghost. The victim of the alleged manifestations, who before the recent ghost scare was employed at one of the local collieries, is now (according to the "South Wales Daily News" debarred from descending the shaft. The colliers in the district are said to ahve made representations that the presence of a "haunted man" in the colliery would be a foreboding of evil. The victim has received many letters of advice upon the matter, but no enclosures. The letters come from all parts of the country, and offer various suggestions for solving the mystery. One writer recommends that he should sleep with a number of knives under his bed, stating that this "cure" had proved effectual in the case of a child who was under a "spell."
