SCARED BY GHOST
OF SLAIN WOMAN.
Screams Arouse Inmates Of Boarding
House at an Early Hour
Spirit Voice Speaks.

Graham, Va.-Great excitement pre-
Qails at Ennis, mining town in the
Pocahontas coal field, as result of
en- alleged ghost making its appear
ance in one of the company houses
during the early morning recently. AS
the story goes, soon after midnight the
screams of a woman were heard in the
house and the occupants, some eight
or ten people, were awakened by 1t.
Upon investigation, the voice of
spirit" was heard and she gave her
name as Smith and told her excited
listeners that she had been murdered
in that same house fourteen years ago
by two negroes and one white man for
her money, which amount the voice
named at $143.
"She" stated that she had come to
, Ennis to visit, giving the name of the
family. she was visiting. The returned
spirit further is said to have made it
known That she had brother, Frank
Smith. living in Columbus, Ohio. The
entire town was awakened during the
night and hundreds flocked to the
place, where, it is claimed, many
heard the strange voice and vouch for
the genuineness of the story.
1t is estimated that no fewer than
three thousand people visited the
haunted house during the day. The
voices again spoke the next day at 8
o'clock, the story goes, repeating the
details of the tragedy Replying to
question, the spirit stated that she had
been in torment and that the devil had
permitted her to come back to earth
and make known the secret of her
death.
The excitement spread so rapidly
that many from nearby towns are go
ing to Ennis to visit the premises. The
occupants of the haunted boarding
house are moving out, while the board
ers sought new quarters on the morn
ing of the alleged visit of the ghost.
The mines at Ennis are said to be
paralyzed as result of the ghost
story as the miners refuse to go under
the ground during the excitement.

mis-, attracted there by the ghost story.
