Well, one night I was sure I hear somethin thar.

I listened, and then somethin gin a kind o' screech, sounded like de little niggers when Aunt Peggy used to gin 'em a lick wid her switch.

Arter a while I see de curtain lifted up.

I couldn't see what it was, but it lifted it up.

I hearn some more noise, and I felt so strange like, that I shut de door to, and went to bed.
