Location Description:         
 

Long ago, there was a man hung at the old jail. He maintained his innocence and proclaimed that if he was executed, he would come back to haunt the town. After he was hung, his shadow could be seen on the side of the old jail, swinging back and forth. The jail was painted, to try to remove the shadow, but failed to. Ivy was allowed to grow on the side of the old jail, but years later when removed, the shadow was still visible. The old jail was torn down, but the business that were put on that site, failed and the roof of the building that was placed there, always peeled. This story is in the book "North Carolina Ghost Stories"

I live right here above this location and have been told this story my entire life. my son actually did hid senior project in high scholl on this very subject,he had to do tons of research on Daniel Keith,everything we found about this story was the same,nothing added/nothing left out.Town's people still to this day talk about it. As of 2008 Domino's pizza is in operation on this site, not sure if they ever see or here anything from ol Dan,but it would be interesting to find out.
