Abstract
Before the establishment of Western Kentucky University on its hilltop campus, the area was known as "Vinegar Hill," a rocky, overgrown, unsavory and haunted place. In 1912, an elderly African-American resident of the neighboring community of Jonesville recounted its ghostly history to a local newspaper reporter.
