Uncle Caleb and the Phantom Cane

Your fourth great uncle, Caleb Combes, dabbled in the occult. This was a shame to the fambly, but needs to be recorded nevertheless.

While he was mostly laughed at and considered a queer bird in the community, it did turn out that he was able to enchant a cane and make it invisible. He carried that cane around with him and folks thought he was plumb crazy. Because they couldn't see it.

But one day when Pemberton, the town drunk, started teasing him unmercifully in front of the ice cream parlor, he beat Pemberton across the head, chest and arms with that thing and everyone was a believer after that.
