Quiet, Please - NORTHERN LIGHTS

Two scientists have developed a device to move objects about in time. They test the process on a cigarette lighter, sending it ten seconds into the future. After the ten seconds have elapsed and it reappears, they discover that it has come back to them freezing cold. They wonder what place it could have been for those ten seconds, to make it so cold. A few seconds later, they also discover a brown and black caterpillar in the laboratory, in the middle of winter -- freezing cold but perfectly healthy.

Ever see the northern lights? Aurora borealis is their right name. You don't see them very often below the 50th parallel of latitude in this country, but up in northern Minnesota and Canada, upper New York, places like that, they're quite common of a winter night. If you've seen 'em you know what they look like. If you haven't, there's no use in my trying to describe 'em. Sometimes they fill the whole northern sky with waves of color, like a fire burning way beyond the horizon. Sometimes they're just long streamers of fire filling up the whole sky. And another time they look like gigantic fringed curtains of pure light, swaying, as if some cold cosmic breeze plucked at them, way far off there to the north. And you can hear 'em, too, sometimes -- well, maybe not exactly hear 'em, but - but there's a sound, a humming, a - a crackling somewhere inside your head. And there are times when you'd swear it's a voice talking to you, talking in some kind of strange language you can almost understand -- filling your whole being with a kind of desperate, inescapable terror.

The whispering in my house was more persistent tonight. I seemed not to be rid of it in my room. I have not noticed this before. A nervous man, which I am not, and hope I am not becoming, would have been much annoyed, if not alarmed, by it. The cat was on the stairs tonight. I think it sits there always. There is no kitchen cat.

M.R. James, from The Stalls of Barchester Cathedral in ‘More Ghost Stories of an Antiquary’ (Edward Arnold, London 1911)
