Image was provided by our supernatural photographer, Henry A. Hollingsworth of the St. Hallo Post. It was shot on October 5th, 1921.

n October 5th, a woman named Rosa Johnson contacted our newspaper with a report that she had been visited by a ghost. The word of her visitation had spread throughout the town like wild fire.

    An investigation was put in place to go search the site where Rosa saw the ghost to  found out to why he was visiting her.  Rosa said that the ghost who was haunting her might be the ghost of her dead husband.

    The first thing that I noticed while investigating Rosa's house, was that a man answered the door, instead of Johnson. I was curious about who this man was, since her husband was dead. I suspect this man might have something to do with the ghost of her dead husband haunting her.

    After Rosa greeted me in the living room, she said, "This is where I saw him, right over there behind that chair." Rosa then began to talk about her husband, Jack Johnson, how they both met, and how he died.

    During her story, Rosa interrupted herself and introduced Gregg Rollins, her fiance, to me. I realized this was important information that she had just revealed.

    Jack and Rosa had gone to the same high school in St. Hallo but they  didn't know each other. It wouldn't be until a few years later that their paths would cross again.

    As Rosa reported to me, one day, the two were walking through town and ran into one another. They ended up talking all afternoon in the Hallo Malt Shop. From that moment on Jack and Rosa were inseparable.

    Jack was in the military so he was gone a lot. When he was home the two were always going to formal functions and dances with his military troop.

    Rosa said she will never forget the night when they were at an officer's dance and a messenger came into the room to report that all the men were reported to go back to the battle field.
