The Bealings Bells
In February 1834 the servants' bells at Bealings House, Suffolk, home of Major Edward Moor, began ringing violently on their own and kept on for weeks.
1834 CE · 52.09, 1.26 · status: account
The account
Moor, a retired East India Company officer and scholar, investigated carefully and published 'Bealings Bells' (1841) with similar cases sent in by readers.
The sceptical view
Servants pulling hidden wires, rats or building movement have been suggested; Moor could not find a cause.
