The evidence, however, left him, as it leaves me, at a standstill, not convinced, but agreeably perplexed.

The ghosts here are truly old-fashioned.
My story is, and must probably remain, entirely devoid of proof, as far as any kind of ghostly influence is concerned.

We find ghosts appearing, and imposing a certain course of action on a living witness, for definite purposes of their own.

The course of action prescribed was undeniably pursued, and apparently the purpose of the ghosts was fulfilled, but what that purpose was their agent declines to state, and conjecture is hopelessly baffled.
