John Lang, "Fisher's Ghost" (1859)


In the colony of New South Wales, at a place called Penrith, distant from Sydney about thirty-seven miles, lived a farmer named Fisher. He had been, originally, transported, but had become free by servitude. Unceasing toil, and great steadiness of character, had acquired for him a considerable property, for a person in his station of life. His lands and stock were not worth less than four thousand pounds. He was unmarried and was about forty-five years old.

Suddenly Fisher disappeared; and one of his neighbours -- a man named Smith -- gave out that he had gone to England, but would return in two or three years. Smith produced a document, purporting to be executed by Fisher; and, according to this document, Fisher had appointed Smith to act as his agent during his absence. Fisher was a man of very singular habits and eccentric character and his silence about his departure, instead of creating surprise, was declared to be 'exactly like him'.

somethings wrong . after making something of his life and then up and leaving without telling anyone seems very unlikely of a man with any little habits or quirks . men are very protective of their property more so than women so i don't believe he would up and leave without telling more than on person . especially one with questionable character

It seems weird, and any documentation should bear a signature from both a witness and some form of legal representative (solicitor etc)
