The Ghost of Micah

There is a story in legends lore and secrets of New England by Thomas D'Agostino. And it says he told a few townspeople that he was being haunted by a ghost. He wouldn't eat or tend to his farm and everything just completely died. But that one tree, everything except that red apple tree. Every season it came back even though he didn't tend to it. The community kind of believed he didn't do it and that he was falsely accused.
