It was reported at the Central Station yesterday that a negro named Sam Myers, living on Clinton street, had left home in an insane condition, and that his malady was brought on by "seeing ghosts." It was asserted that he thought the spirit of his mother followed him night and day, but would not reply when spoken to. This failure to bring on a conversation with the spirit of the old lady so worked upon the man's feelings that he got light in the head.
