“The treasure cache at Jonathan Swift’s homestead in Kentucky has been ransacked by a ghost.  Not merely any ghost though, it was the spirit of the notorious pirate, Black Caesar. Black Caesar was one of Blackbeard’s top lieutenants in the early 1700’s.  According to legend, he was an African war chief who escaped a slave ship.  He then murdered and pillaged his way to become one of the most feared pirates in the Caribbean. He was a massive man in life and the men guarding the treasure say that he has not lost his intimidating presence.  He managed to kill two guards.  What would make him return for Blackbeard’s gold?  Was it something he was looking for in life before he was hanged alongside Blackbeard?

-Chester A. Arthur 1885″
