Ghost Haunts Goshen Citizens Ladies Describe Woman in Black
In Goshen Indiana residents report a spectral figure dubbed The Specter Spook haunting areas near South Ninth and Tenth streets. The entity appears in forms from a tall white-clad woman to a shorter dark figure, peering into windows and moving swiftly through shadows. Local youths chased the ghost with firearms after sightings, but it vanished each time. Some say it may be the spirit of a man who died recently, while others recall an older tale of a train accident victim seeking his head.
