Thence she went, and made another attempt to live at Hinton, but was "soon after assailed by a noise I never before heard, very near me, and the terror I felt not to be described".

She therefore went to the Newbolts, and thence to the old Palace at Winton; later, on Mr.Ricketts' return, to the Parsonage, and then to Longwood (to the _old_ house there) near Alresford.
Meanwhile, on 18th September, Lady Hillsborough's agent lay with armed men at Hinton, and, making no discovery, offered 50 pounds (increased by Mr.Ricketts to 100 pounds) for the apprehension of the persons who caused the noises.

The reward was never claimed.

On 8th March, 1772, Camis wrote: "I am very sorry that we cannot find out the reason of the noise"; at other dates he mentions sporadic noises heard by his mother and another woman, including "the murmur".

A year after Mrs.
Ricketts left a family named Lawrence took the house, and, according to old Lucy Camis, in 1818, Mr.Lawrence very properly threatened to dismiss any servant who spoke of the disturbances.
