It has often seemed to me lately that certain elements in the Resurrection stories may be originally traced to such experiences as these.

As the evening closed in, Zack woke.
During the night the slats of my bed gave way with a dreadful din, and I woke to find the governor in pajamas of rose-colored silk, with pistol in hand, shedding electric rays upon me from a battery lamp.
