46The Ghost of the Piano’By FLOYD GIBBONS Famous Headline Hunter.YOU know, boys and girls, every time I make up my mind that there arc no such things as ghosts, somebody comes along with a story that makes me just a bit doubtful.Now it's Richard Bouker who throws the monkey wrench into my supernatural musings.

It was long after sundown and he was hungry, tired and sleepy and the dreary prospect of ten long, weary miles over the sloping hills of northeastern Tennessee was pretty discouraging.Then it began to rain.
