Jack Swan

The ghost of Jack Swan, who murdered Jesse Roberts for his watch and chain, reputedly haunts the area. Swan was caught and hung for his foul deed. Since that time, farmers are said to be reluctant to take a watch with them when tending their flocks for fear of being set upon by this nasty spirit.
