How I Learned to Pray....part 6

Know More: How I Learned to Pray house, pray
My oldest sister, Chrissy, seemed to experience the wrath from the house the most. One night, she saw an uninvited visitor standing in the upstairs hallway while she lay in her bed. It was not a specter or some figment of her imagination. Rather it was a man, notorious in our parts, who wandered in from somewhere on Cincy’s west side. He was real flesh and blood, too real.

 

For years Cincinnati’s west side was bedeviled by a person who for some inexplicable reason painted himself white, wore white clothes, white gloves, white shoes, and a white stocking cap that he pulled down over his face. In the news he was known very unimaginatively as the WHITE MAN. Mt. Echo Park sat on another of Cincy’s seven hills and was a short mile from our home. The white man often went to Mt. Echo to find couples watching ‘submarine races’ in the Ohio River. He beat and left the boys for dead, then had his way with the girls before he murdered them, too. A close friend of the family, a boy affectionately known as Fish, survived an encounter with the hated White Man. But then Fish later was killed in Viet Nam.
