==Poem==
Inspired by reports of a ghost of a man roaming the stairs of a haunted house in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada,〔John Robert Colombo. ''Canadian Literary Landmarks''. Dundurn Press, 1984. ISBN 978‐0‐88882‐073‐0.〕 the poem was originally part of a play called ''The Psyco-ed'' which Mearns had written for an English class at Harvard University about 1899.〔David Thompson Watson McCord. ''What Cheer: An Anthology of American and British Humorous and Witty Verse.'' New York: The Modern Library, 1955. p. 429.〕 In 1910, Mearns put on the play with the Plays and Players, an amateur theatrical group and, on 27 March 1922, newspaper columnist FPA printed the poem in "The Conning Tower", his column in the ''New York World''.〔〔E. J. Kahn. ("Creative Mearns." ) ''The New Yorker'', 30 September 1939. p. 11.〕
