Latrobe Family Haunted by Apparition of Baby's Skeleton

Downtown Latrobe in the 1930s

 

Skeletal apparitions are pretty creepy. And apparitions of children are also pretty creepy. But when you combine the two, you get a phenomenon that is hair-raisingly scary. Such was the experience of the family of Floyd Palmer in 1923 when a mysterious apparition of a baby's skeleton began to appear on the ceiling of their home in Latrobe. Despite tearing apart the ceiling to find the cause of the strange manifestation, the Palmers were unable to solve the perplexing mystery.

The following account appeared in the April 23, 1923 edition of the Latrobe Bulletin.
