Houses Horrid. The errors of Protestantism, embodied in one of its presbyters, as he recounts his woeful confrontation with our titular apparition, the details of which are true and historic, excepting the existence of the presbyter.

lyrics

I tremble as I write you, but I consider it a duty Jesus Christ Himself has laid upon my shoulder. It's a wait of shame, how I behaved: beneath the dignity of my office.

I'd heard of the Livingstons. They were all Lutherans. Oh, My God, what light respect adheres between us Protestants. I do confess to laughing at his story:

He trembled as he told me about a strange and awkward haunting at his home unfolding. Crescent moons were cut from laundry on the line, though none in sight were there to bear the scissors.

He prayed for deliverance when three of his hens were decapitated like three heads of grain by a sickle's blade, though no sickle manifested.

I trembled as I traversed past the pale and ashen faces of his homestead scattered. "You Livingstons, you look like you've seen a ghost!" I tried to joke. Didn't even score a snicker.

"Gird your loins, Anglican! The Wizard Clip snips quick! He'll separate your heart, your head, your doctrine too, everything that you use to keep connected."

I could not believe that it was true. Has this ever happened to you? Bishop of the Church of England, excommunicate me, but I don't recall any part of seminary that explained how to deal with demon scissors! I could not believe that it was true. And frankly, Father, neither would you. Ship me back to England where the demons have the decency to skulk, hide, remain but a problem for the mind, never-minding my passible body. I never thought I'd say that it was true, but America will do this to you: SOAK YOUR CLERICAL SWEATER IN SWEAT YOU CAN CALL IT A FEVER DREAM BUT IT'S STILL COMING AT YOU BLADE OF JUDGMENT HELL'S HAIRCUT FINDING ME INFINITE WANTING

We could not believe that it was true
But having been stabbed by them demon clippers
Our ministry is sapped
We just shiver an we shake inside our rooms.
