About the story.

Troubling sounds and observations lead a worried household to seek expert help. A young man’s room seems to contain the aftermath of something sinister, with a conspicuous absence lending the scene an especially ominous shape.

Father Brown encounters a confident scientific explanation and a collection of details that seem ready to support it. The question is whether arranging facts into an impressive theory is the same as understanding them.
