Kip Schilerbratten bein th’ elder, don loss both he legs. He lil brotha Willis, he was what ya call ‘shell shocked’. Trut be tole, dat boy, he weren’t right in da head afore th’ war.

Anyways ,dem boys aswore they house a be haunted by da ghost a some nazi dat try kill em o’er yonder in Urupe.

Ever nigh dem boys a be yellin and a shooten they guns inta the yard, got so bad th’ sherf threatened ta lock em both up fer disserbin the peace. He sho was tared dem boys causin a ruckus all da time.

One Saterdee, Willis was aspecially spooked and dun shot his brotha fulla lead. Dey burried him o’er yonder cemetry by the Lampshade Libeery. Dey say his ghosts a haunts these here parts a Lampshade County Alabamee till this here day, no lie.

Ole man Willis is a still yellin an a shootin his gun off, but the locals, we all jest stay offa his propertay.
