Mooreville factory
There had been sightings of "a man in overalls" for several years at this old building.. along with many other paranormal events... but my favorite story about the factory is this one: The people involved in this swear to its truth, and eyewitness accounts were readily available. Every year on Halloween the abandoned factory is used as a community 'haunted house'. People are led along on a tour through the factory and out along a pathway into the field, while costumed people jump out at them for the traditional Halloween scare. A couple of years ago, that changed a little bit... The people who manned the haunted house, set it up so that all the participants would be concealed on one side of the path, awaiting the tour guests. Yet after the tour people were complimenting the wonderful scares they received, and asking about the old man on the other side of the path.. who was he? why didn’t he jump out too? Even the people working the tour saw this mysterious person. The comment from the woman playing the witch was "I saw a man out there in overalls... I don’t think he was real." The sounds of footsteps paralleling the tour guests were also frightening I am sure.. They would have been more frightened to know that it wasn’t a special effect. None of the workers or guests had been told about the mysterious 'man in overalls' previously seen at the factory. The tour guests were probably frightened a little bit by the costumed ghosts, but I wonder what their reaction would be if they knew they had witnessed the real thing. A bit more than they bargained for. After all what better place is there for a ghost to be, than in a haunted house? |

One of the most famous of civil war battle sites, Brice's Crossroads is now a state park. You can tour the grounds by day, but, as of 2005, there IS a restriction to seeing them at night. Many people have seen civil war re-enactors dressed as soldies and putting on mock battles. Sometimes they see groups of men dressed as civil war soldiers, walking the battlefied. Sometimes they see a large re-enactment of part of the battle ony to find out later that was no re-enactment that day. There are stories upon stories of this site. Everything from wounded soldiers exhaustedly waking home, to children dressed in the clothing of the civil war area playing by the old cabin. Let's just say that a lot happened at this place, and some of the involved do not know its over.
