The
Legend of the Olive Ghost Train by W. T. Block Jr. 7-3-06The
Ghost on Highway 281 by C.F. Eckhardt
"...About a year and
a half later John was in the old Jailhouse Barber Shop in Blanco, and he mentioned
seeing the guy with the knife alongside 281. "Oh," somebody said, "you saw Lackey's
ghost." ... As it turned out, John wasn't the only person who'd seen Lackey trying
to hitch a ride north toward Johnson City. A lot of people were aware of him.
Truckers don't like to drive that stretch on fall nights..." |
