Kinston, April 22—The ghost that haunted an abandoned two-story dwelling near Elm Grove has been captured. For three or four nights the spook paraded past windows in the second story and made unearthly noises. It was evidently in distress.
Neighboring negroes and a few whites saw the haunt, all from a respectful distance. The thing was beginning to attract crowds after sunset. Several stories were concocted to account for the ghost’s presence. They involved murders that never happened and other tragic happenings.
A person who had not heard of the apparition passed the house in daytime and rescued a bleating goat from imprisonment. The animal apparently had entered from an open door which was closed by a gust of wind.
