Upper Harrison Street (Defiance Ohio) was treated to what was supposed was a genuine ghost scare. Just as the street car was approaching the ward building two girls, whose names were withheld because they could not be blamed getting frightened, asked Motorman Chas. Weisenburger for protection.
Weisenburger was amused for a moment but as soon as he obtained a look at the white specter his hair stood on end and the street car was in danger of being deserted. A white form about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighting about 200 to 210 pounds was seen in the distance, walking stealthy along the street.
The ghostly prowler turned the corner in front of Looker's saloon and ran against Lewis Looker, standing in front. Looker for a second, was ready to sail skyward, but on second though drew his arm back intending to put his supernatural highness to sleep in a hurry, thinking the mustache was a burgler mask. Luckily for the ghost he was recognized just then and a accident averted.
The strange figure in white proved to be a resident of Harrison street with a heavy cold and intended combining the cool air treatment with a glass of schnapps for relief. He was dress only in his night dress, not even having any covering on his feet which exploined his appearance and stealthy walk
