Since we're only a couple of days from Halloween, I thought it might be fun to take a look at some of the urban legends of the Shoals area. Some are true - some are not....but they're all stories that have circulated around the area for years.
Maybe you know the real story behind the legend...or maybe you just want to share one that you've heard. Here are a few stories that I can think of to get started:
1) Several men were buried alive in the concrete of Wilson Dam during it's construction..and their bodies are still there today.
2) The Florence Post Office was actually designed for the city of Florence, North Carolina and intended to be built there until
the blueprints for the post offices of the two cities were accidentally switched.
3) The Ritz Theatre, the auditorium at Florence High School (formerly Bradshaw High), and Norton Auditorium are all haunted by past performers.
What kind of legends do you recall about our area?
