      By Andy McAuliffe in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada
      (grandson-in-law to Theresa (HALLER) LITSCHGY)

      During the summer following the death of Theresa (HALLER) LITSCHGY in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada on 17 December 1957, two of her daughters, Marie and Alice, visited her home town in Alsace-Lorraine (Germany) now France. They were welcomed at the family home by members of the family. When hearing the story of Theresa's death, the family looked at each other in amazement.
      One night before the previous Christmas they had been sitting around talking when a knock came to the front door. When answering the door, they found no one there. The same thing happened with again no one in sight. The father walked outside to see if someone was hiding around the corner -- to no avail.

      A little later the knocking resumed, seeming to come from the back of the house. The father walked around the house but no one was there. The knocking resumed later at a back bedroom window. The father checked to see if a tree limb was rattling on the window pane, but none was close enough. They heard no more knocking after that.

      The date they remembered was December 17 and the bedroom was the one in which Theresa HALLER had been born.
