Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 148, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 June 1912 — Prosaic "Ghost.” [ARTICLE]

Prosaic "Ghost.”

Thinking they had seen a "ghost,” a number of Dundee (Scotland) townsfolk, while walking through the cemetery recently, took to their heels and summoned the nearest gatekeeper. The “vision” which had aroused their alarm —that of a figure in scanty attire standing behind a. gravestone, bad vanished when they returned with reinforcements, and all there was. to be seen was a large piece of red flannel. It afterward* transpired that the owner being greatly irritated by the flannel, which was next the skin, had gone to the cemetery with the Idea of getting.rid of It, which he conld not do without shedding his garments.
