Happy Halloween and All Saints Day! On this spooky weekend, we bring you a story about the Ghost of Jacob Braun. Jacob was expelled from his church for breaking with community tradition. When he died, his family was forbidden from burying him in the church cemetery. The entire community is put on edge when a villager believes she has seen his ghost.
