18 May.--I have been down to look at that room again in daylight, for I must know the truth. When I got to the doorway at the top of the stairs I found it closed. It had been so forcibly driven against the jamb that part of the woodwork was splintered. I could see that the bolt of the lock had not been shot, but the door is fastened from the inside. I fear it was no dream, and must act on this surmise.

“the bolt of the lock had not been shot, but the door is fastened from the inside.”
So the door was barricaded on the inside somehow? Just bolted (with a separate bolt) and not locked? Or am I missing another possibility?

I think that's right: a simple bolt, from the inside.
