The haunted sausage factory
A German immigrant and his wife once ran a sausage factory in town, but the husband became bored with his industrious wife. So he allegedly murdered her by throwing her into the the factory machinery. The meat grinder chopped up the poor wife into pieces. The husband was now free, so he thought, to pursue another woman.
But his wife, or her ghost, would not let that occur. While in the factory one evening, the husband saw his wife's spirit. Her appearance was horrific, bloody and mutilated. Panic hit the husband; he ran screaming in terror.
He tried to deceive his suspicious neighbors, making up excuses. Why was he frightened? A nightmare. Why did no one see his wife anymore? She was just away for a while. Soon, however, the public found more than just meat in the sausages he sold. Fragments of clothing and parts of bones appeared mysteriously. Then one customer discovered bits of gold in her sausage -- perhaps from the missing wife's gold wedding ring? That was enough for this customer, and she called the police.
The husband had lost his mind in the meantime. It was in the factory where they discovered him in a lunatic rage. He tried to convince everyone his wife was threatening him, escaping from the meat grinder.
His brutal murder now reaped its karma or reward. Confined to an asylum with a complete mental breakdown, the husband eventually took his own life. His wife's ghost, which had continued haunting the factory, ceased to appear after the suicide
