In 1862 a preacher named Jacob Karns angry over the red light district in town on the Nine Mile Road, killed 13 prostitutes “some of the deceased were found in their bed, sheets soaked with blood. Others suspended upside down from the limbs of trees as a warning against sins of the flesh.” he was arrested and then executed.
It appears Jacob Karns spirit feeds off the repressed emotions of clergyman. In 1932 a clergyman arrested for murder and in 1967 a seminarian killed some hippies. In the current case Reverend Sorenson's feeling about his daughter Lori's boyfriend and room-mate incite Karns to kill them.
Dean finds Karns' corpse at the Old North Cemetery, in an unmarked grave he identifies because it has a cross on it. This fails to stop Karns, and the boys realize the spirit is still manifest because the silver that made up Jacob's hook have been remoulded into items in the church. Jacob is dispatched when all of these, the last being a silver chain Lori wears, is melted.
