Name	Description
Bostian Bridge	On Aug. 27, 1891 a passenger train going from Salisbury to Asheville derailed and fell down almost 90 feet off of Bostian Bridge. The wreck killed 30 people and injured many more. If you go to the bridge on the anniversary of the wreck at about 3 a.m., you can hear the whole thing, from the crunching metal to the moans of the dying and injured, happen all over again. Sometimes, a conductor holding a gold pocket watch can be seen for only a few moments before vanishing. On the 50th anniversary...
Old Davis Hospital	The old Davis hospital which is empty is haunted by numerous "ghosts". People who are brave enough and sneaky enough to go in will feel the presence of former patients following them through the halls, a baby crying is heard near the pediatrics ward, there is an overbearing feeling of dread through out the entire building, and it remains cold and drafty even during summer months when temperatures reach 100 degrees or more. Davis is private property, so don't venture there without permission.
