rashore Posted May 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Quote This is one of those WTH stories that occasionally emerge from the 19th century press. While there were plenty of Victorian urban legends and slow-news-day fantasies to be had, this story does not follow predictable supernatural paths in its description of a strange visitant making its noisy nightly rounds at a military encampment in Murfreesborough. WAS IT A GHOST? A Strange Nocturnal Visitant That Defied Capture. A True Story Which Happened During the War–the Mystery Was Never Solved. Ed, “Sentinel”: I submit this story for your paper for publication. It is true in all its details, and of my own actual experience. I wrote it for the Youth’s Companion, and Mr. Butterworth wrote me asking for the solution, which I could not give. It being against their rules to publish anything for children that was not fully explained, it did not appear in the Youth’s Companion. http://hauntedohiobooks.com/news/13622/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
