Offing the Offspring: Judge Horrocks' first post-mortem victim was probably his own young daughter!

You Dirty Rat!

comment
You Dirty Rat!: The "monstrous gray rat" (about the size of a very large human foot) which seems to be an avatar or herald of the ghostly Judge Horrocks.

Would Hurt a Child: Horrocks shows no mercy to children, and even seems to especially-delight in frightening them to death.

Haunted House Historian
 An Account of Some Strange Disturbances in Aungier Street / int_5735378d
comment
Haunted House Historian: Three characters fulfill this role in the tale: Uncle Ludlow's (unnamed) house agent knows some of the mundane history of the house; specifically that it dates from at least the 1680's (and possibly older), was sold as "forfeited property" (presumably for treason) in 1702, and was re-fronted around 1760. An old "local woman" (of almost around 80 years of age, hence born around 1750) remembers that old Judge Horrocks, a Hanging Judge, lived there in her youth and hanged himself in the main stair-well. (This must have happened in the 1750's or 1760's, and Horrocks himself must have been born around 1690-1700) Martha, the 52-year-old daughter of the old local woman, who comes in to the house as a part-time servant, knows some of the history of the haunting of the house.

comment
My Death Is Just the Beginning: It is a strong possiblity that Judge Horrocks committed suicide precisely to become a malevolent ghost, given the combination of his evil and insanity.

comment
Sole Survivor: While Tom isn't killed in the experiences at Aungier Street, by the time the narrator tells his tale, his cousin Tom has died of a disease contracted during missionary work. Given that this all happened decades ago, Uncle Ludlow has by now probably also died.

The Team Benefactor: Uncle Ludlow, Tom's father, is a wealthy man who dwells in the country, and owns a number of old houses in Aungier Street, one of which is the unoccupied house in which Uncle Ludlow let the narrator and Tom stay.
