| 520 | _a"The Ghost in the Tower: An Episode in Jacobia" by Earl H. Reed is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. This novel blends elements of ghost stories with humor, centered around an encounter between the narrator and a ghost named Emric Szapolyai, who reveals his past as a Hungarian duke turned robber baron. The story unfolds during Christmas time in a tower in Michigan, detailing themes of isolation, history, and the contrast between past and present moralities. The plot begins with the narrator visiting his friend Jacobs' farmhouse and being drawn to the eerie water tower that stands nearby. While contemplating the quiet surroundings, he encounters Szapolyai, who emerges from the mist and engages him in a conversation about his storied life. The ghost shares humorous accounts of his past as a nobleman and his escapades with infamous pirates, portraying the evolution of morality from his time to modern-day business practices, illustrated through his candid remarks on contemporary financial sins. The narrative ultimately reflects on the themes of nostalgia, companionship, and the idea of lingering spirits and their aspirations, leaving readers with a blend of lightheartedness and contemplation on the evolving nature of human ethics.
