Of course, these charnel prophets are not the only phantasms that "possess" furniture. For example, I once heard of a case of "possession" by a non-prophetic phantasm in connection with a chest an antique oak chest which, I believe, claimed to be a native of Limerick.
"The chariot! the chariot! its wheels roll in fire, As the Lord cometh down in the pomp of His ire; Lo! self-moving, it drives on its pathway of cloud, And the heavens with the glory of God-head are bowed. "The trumpet! the trumpet! the dead all have heard, Lo! the depths of the stone-covered charnel are stirred!
Obeying the least signal with ready and timorous acquiescence, she pushed the door open, but instantly recoiled with terror. It was a charnel house, half filled with dry skulls and bones. "I fear to change my dress there, and alone. But, if you, father, command it, be it as you will."
The picture of man sacrificing himself in the cause of religion is easily matched by a Vesalius haunting the charnel houses of Europe, and risking the most loathsome diseases in the interests of scientific research. The abiding passion for truth in a character such as that of Roger Bacon or Bruno easily matches the enthusiasm of the missionary monk.
While Bonaparte and Mélas were engaged in marches and countermarches in preparation for a battle which would decide the destiny of France and Italy, the garrison of Genoa found itself reduced to its last extremity. The typhus epidemic was raging. The hospitals had become ghastly charnel houses; starvation was at its worst.
He has a wife and children in his own country, where he intends to spend the remnant of his days; but "the world is uncertain" "Fate descends, and man's eye seeth it not" "the earth is a charnel house"; briefly, his many wise old saws give him a kind of theoretical consciousness that his bones may moulder in other places but his father-land.

My family was starving in the hut. I saw no way of prolonging their existence. The thought then occurred to me: 'Last night the abominable food that I carried to my family from Gregory's human charnel house kept them from dying in the agonies of starvation. My grandson is dead. What should I do? Bury the body of little Julyan or have it serve to prolong the life of those who gave him life?
"Deceived, not for an hour, a day, but through blighted youth, through listless manhood, you suffered me to nurse the remorse that should have been your own; her life slain, mine wasted, and shall neither of us have revenge?" "Revenge! Ah, Harley, you have had it!" "No, but I await it! Not in vain from the charnel have come to me the records I produce.
I began to recover slowly from my nervous terrors, and leaning against the gloomy arch of my charnel house I took courage to glance backward down the steep stairway up which I had sprung with such furious precipitation. Something white lay in a corner on the seventh step from the top.
