Pass the Jack
It is said that on St. Patrick’s evening, 1874, an intoxicated man was walking alone. So inebriated was he, that he stumbled over the cliff. His remains were never found; only a bottle of whiskey was located at the site of the accident. It is said that on the evening of every St. Patrick’s Day, the man can be seen drinking a bottle of whiskey.

I know a bit about Natick history (although this ghost story’s a new one on me).
At the time of the incident, 1874, the tracks were street level; there would be no “cliff” until the town depressed the tracks 30 feet. There was, however, an elevated walkway tall enough to clear the trains, so our Irish drunk could have met his demise this way.
Strange there’d be only one ghost. In 1888, two people were killed by a train at the North Main Street crossing, about 100 yards from Washington Street.
