Nicolas Cage! The town of Elmore, Ohio has its own ghost rider to
contend with -- and he's expected to arrive on March 21.
The apparition is supposed to be the ghost of a First World War soldier who crashed his motorcycle on March 21, 1919. Residents say the ghost returns each year as a ball of light on the anniversary of his death if drivers flash their headlights three times followed by three honks of the car horn. In a 1968 investigation, Richard Gill, a student at Bowling Green University, apparently roused the ghost who passed through a string tied across the road without breaking it. Gill then asked a pal to stand in the middle of the road as the Elmore Rider passed. Wrong move. The Elmore rider passed, and his friend passed out, the victim of an apparent beating by the grumpy spirit. © The StarPhoenix (Saskatoon) 2008 |
