New Braunfels, Texas, USA. – Ludwig and Marglin Leather announces that the store is now part of the New Braunfels Ghost Tours Pub Crawl. The first Pub Crawl including Ludwig and Marglin will be held on Saturday, August 19, 2017. Originally called New Braunfels Leather Company, Ludwig & Marglin Leather (197 S. Sequin Ave, New Braunfels, TX 78130) has seventy-nine years of history and a resident ghost named Red who is said to haunt the leather store.
Red Miller worked at Ludwig and Marglin for about a decade around the 1970s before passing away from a heart attack. It’s unknown where Red is buried. Now his spirit is said to hang around the shop, occasionally tossing leather pieces around and rattling the rope cow halters he loved making in life. Red could even be the reason for the mysterious Ludwig and Marglin fire of 1982. Helen Opellt, who has worked at the shop for over thirty years, says she’s witnessed some of Red’s antics herself. “He doesn’t like it when I make the cow halters,” she says. “That was his favorite project.”
Paula Cerna told many tales of Red and would always say, “That was Red, alright!” when mysterious things happened around the shop. Paul worked at Ludwig and Marglin Leather for over fifty years before passing away. Paul’s marble Ludwig and Marglin tooling block was made into his tombstone, per his request. “With seventy-nine years of history, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if we had a ghost around the shop,” says Ludwig and Marglin owner Terri Cocanougher. “Luckily for us, Red is a friendly ghost.”
Tickets to the New Braunfels Haunted Pub Crawl are $30 and can be purchased at nbghosttours.com. Ludwig and Marglin’s first Haunted Pub Crawl will take place on Saturday, August 19, 2017 from 6-9 pm. The tour meets at The Lone Star Lounge at 5:30 pm. The Haunted Pub Crawl visits five bars in downtown New Braunfels. Participants will hear tales of each bar before they enter as well as true happenings from events long ago in our town. Participants must be at least 21 years old.
