Sad "Ghost" Foils Police

Pennsylvania, 1915

Wraith of Man Killed Who Was on Railroad Tracks Upsets Old Neighbors

Philadelphia. — On Garrett Hill, in Radnor township, the police are looking nightly for the "ghost" of a man who was killed several months ago at the railroad station at Radnor. The man lived at Garrett Hill, and has returned, his old neighbors say.

A number of residents say they have seen the wraith. It flits out of dark corners, they say, stares at them with sorrowful eyes, and then passes, moaning. A woman tells of being called to her door the other evening, and of finding the man there facing her with his piteous stare. As she stood, she says, paralyzed with fear, he vanished.

So many tales of the "ghost" have reached the police that they have begun an investigation, on the theory that a crank or a maniac is annoying the residents. So far, however, no trace of a flesh and blood marauder has been found.
