News Item
Cazenovia [Madison Co. NY] has a ghost, which sometimes appears in a water-proof cloak, and at others attired in a plaid shawl. No one dares to be out after dark, for fear of meeting the unwelcome visitor. First the individual will know this apparition is walking by his side for some rods, with the face of either coal black or ashen white, and in a moment, it will vanish and is gone. It has been met and seen by many citizens, and two young men have been badly frightened. Women and children remain within doors after dark. The police, with assistants, have patrolled the streets nights, met the night and noiseless walker, have seen it at a distance, but have been unable to arrest its progress as yet. If they start for it, the ghost disappears.
