Stone House Haunting

Reader Tonya writes concerning Alcoa's Old Stone House:

I grew up around this house. Before it became a private residence we held our haunted house there on Halloween. One Halloween a few of us were waiting for the man to come unlock the house and we heard someone already inside. Walking around making all kinds of noise. When the man arrived we told him what we heard. He assured us that it was impossible for anyone to be in there as he had the only key. Just as he was unlocking the door something slammed against it from inside. When he finally got it opened there was nothing there. We did have our haunted house that night but I never strayed from my friends. And I never went back.

I don't blame you!

Jackson Area Hauntings

I haven't updated this blog in a long while, for which I apologize. I was on a very relaxing vacation. But now I am back and ready to go to work...

Reader Kimberly from Jackson offers some ghost stories from her area:

*Harts Bridge Road (South Jackson)

- Only a few years ago, a girl and her boyfriend were below one of the bridges on Harts Bridge Road, when her father caught them. Her father and her boyfriend got into a fight and her father pulled a knife and stabbed her boyfriend. After her boyfriend was taken to the hospital, she thought he was dead and jumped off the bridge and killed herself. Every now and then, if you go out there at night, you can see her ghost floating across the bridge.

*Bascom Road (North Jackson)

- There is an old concrete bridge on Bascom Road where slaves were hung. If you drive onto the bridge and stop, your car goes dead and will not start back up until someone walks across the bridge and back. As you get the middle of the bridge, no matter how hot it is outside, you will feel a very cold spot. So if you are ever on Bascom Road DO NOT STOP ON A BRIDGE.

*Britton Lane Battlefield (Denmark Tennessee)

          - At Britton Lane Battlefield, if you go at night, after the battlefield is closed and sit outside for a while, you can hear the battle cries of the soldiers from the Civil War.
