Ghost Stories - Canon Alberic's Scrapbook pt 1

"St Bertrand de Comminges is a decayed town on the spurs of the Pyrenees, not very far from Toulouse, and still nearer to Bagnères-de-Luchon. It was the site of a bishopric until the Revolution, and has a cathedral wich is visited by a certain number of tourists. In the spring of 1883 an Englishman arrived at this old-world place - I can hardly dignify it with the name of city, for there are not a thousand inhabitants. He was a cambridge man, who had come specially from Toulouse to see St Bertrand's Church, and had left Two friends, who were less keen archaeologists than himself, in their hotel at Toulouse, under promise to join him on the following morning. Half an Hour  at the church would satisfy them, and all three could then persue their journey in the direction of Auch. But our Englishman had come early on the day in question , and proposed to himself to fill a notebook and to use several dozens of plates in the process of describing and photographing every corner of the wonderful church that dominates the little hill of Comminges.
