This spooky statue represents the Galloping Ghost, the mascot of Kaukauna High School. The school sticks to the theme by having a hooded person deliver the football on horseback at the start of games.

The orange-lettered sign was added recently to provide a little context to the statue, which had evoked some negative connotations, with some likening it to a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
