Forget Nicolas Cage! The town of Elmore, Ohio has its own ghost rider to contend with -- and he's expected to arrive on March 21.
The apparition is supposed to be the ghost of a First World War soldier who crashed his motorcycle on March 21, 1919. Residents say the ghost returns each year as a ball of light on the anniversary of his death if drivers flash their headlights three times followed by three honks of the car horn.
In a 1968 investigation, Richard Gill, a student at Bowling Green University, apparently roused the ghost who passed through a string tied across the road without breaking it.
