Shadowy Things

It was known as the "Spook House." That it was tenanted by evil spirits, visible, audible and active, no one in all that region doubted any more than he doubted what he was told of Sundays by the traveling preacher. Its owner's opinion of the matter was unknown; he and his family had disappeared one night and no trace of them had ever been found.

Which Ambrose Bierce story is that from, I have to have read it in the past. I have a collection of his stories in my small library of horror fiction.
