Adair Co., KY History: When the Joppa/Shiloh ghost ran out of his pants By "Jim" There was this bizarre tale in the April 8, 1903 issue of the Adair County News: A real live ghost has took up its abode in the vicinity of Shiloh and has frightened a number of young people out of their wits. The strange part of the affair is that his ghostship receives an occasional visit in the vicinity of Joppa. A short time ago the Joppa ghost while returning home by way of Young's mill stampeded and ran out of his pants and left them hanging on Jake Gabbert's fence. Jake told the News correspondent that he found the pants hanging on his fence but did not say they were the property of a ghost. However, diligent inquiry developed the startling discovery. His ghostship is advised to try a moderate gait in the future or tie his pants on with a log chain.Considering the date, April 8, 1903, perhaps it was tongue-in-cheek.
