Six Alabama places with a haunted reputation and a public door

Sloss Furnaces, Birmingham

Sloss Furnaces will let you walk the ironworks, and the homepage says admission is free. The homepage, read in October 2026, does not print Ty Mulgani, Theophilus Jowers, or a heart. Mulgani, "education coordinator for Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark," told WVTM, in a story updated at 8:48 p.m. CDT on October 30, 2024, that after Alice Furnace shut down in 1927, people started seeing Jowers at Sloss.

The names do not sit on one line. The WVTM page spells him Ty Mulgani and calls him the education coordinator. The city department page, opened the same week, says "historian Ty Malugani." The contact page lists "Malugani" as deputy director, with the email tyler@slossfurnaces.org. Mulgani, Malugani, and tyler@ are all in print. Education coordinator, historian, and deputy director are all in print. I did not open a page that dates the change. The 2024 WVTM page says "as WVTM 13's Guy Rawlings learned back in 2017." I opened the October 30, 2024, update. I did not open a separate 2017 page. I am not treating the quotes below as if I opened a 2017 transcript.

The address and the phone do not match in punctuation. The contact page prints "20 32nd Street North Birmingham, AL 35222" and "(205) 254-2025." The clickable target I saved is tel:(205)254-2025. The target keeps the parentheses. It has no space after the area code. It does not use a plus. The city page prints "Sloss Furnances, 20 32nd Street North Birmingham, AL 35222" and "205-254-2025." Furnances, and Furnaces, are not the same spelling. The digits match. The visit line uses 20 32nd Street North and the ten digits with an ordinary +1 link. It does not use tel:(205)254-2025. The Commons category page prints the same street line, "20 32nd Street North, Birmingham, AL 35222."

The hours match on the clock and not on the closure label. The homepage prints "Normal Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10:00am - 4:00pm Sunday 12:00 noon - 4:00pm." The contact page prints "Tuesday - Saturday 10:00am - 4:00pm Sunday 12:00pm - 4:00pm." The city page prints "Sunday: 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm" and "Tuesday - Saturday, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm." Noon, 12:00pm, and 12:00 pm are the same hour in different type. Both the homepage and the contact page add "Thurs , Oct 8 - Sun , Oct 11 ( Furnace Fest )" and do not print a year on that line. The city page prints "closed to the public from October 8–11, 2026, for preparation and event days," and it prints Furnace Fest itself as "9am-11pm on October 10-11, 2026." October 8 through 11, and October 10 through 11, are not the same span. The org pages call the whole span Furnace Fest. The city page splits preparation from the fest. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. It is not inside October 8 through 11. The printed door that Sunday is noon to 4 p.m. The homepage and the city page both say admission is free. The city page also says you can take a self-guided tour "through this 15 acre site." Fifteen acres is the city page. I did not see that figure on the homepage text I saved.

The city page heading says "The Only Blast Furnace You Can Walk Through and Experience," and the paragraph under it says Sloss "remains the only preserved blast furnace in the United States open for the public to explore from the inside out." "The only" is the city's sentence. I am not using it as a checked fact. The homepage says Sloss "stopped producing iron in 1971 and became a national historic landmark in 1981." The city page says the same two years, and that it "opened as a national historic landmark in 1981." Stopped in 1971, and opened as a landmark in 1981, are both on those pages. Established in 1881 is on both pages, tied to Colonel James Withers Sloss.

Mulgani's account on the October 30, 2024, page is a legend he is recounting, not a finding that a spirit has been proved. He says Jowers "said, 'as long as there was a furnace in Jefferson County, I'll be working there.'" He says, "According to the legend passed down from his family, from generation to generation, the only thing they were able to pull out of the furnace was his heart." "The only thing" is Mulgani's sentence on that page. I am not using it as a checked fact about a body. He says, "when that Alice Furnace shut down in 1927, people started seeing him here at Sloss," and that workers felt him "working alongside the iron." He ends with, "as long as one is open, and we're technically open—so as long as one is open, he'll be there." Seeing him is the legend Mulgani tells. It is not a proof.

A Bham Now story by Nathan Watson, "LAST UPDATED 10/23/20," prints a different line: "As long as there is a furnace in Jefferson County, I'm going to be working there," and it attributes that line to Jowers "in a statement to his wife, Sarah Louise Latham," "According to BhamWiki." Was, and is. I'll be working, and I'm going to be working. Those are not the same sentence. I opened the 2020 page. I did not open BhamWiki. I did not open an 1887 newspaper. The 2020 page is not the WVTM interview. The homepage I opened does not print Jowers.

Visit: 20 32nd Street North, Birmingham, AL 35222. (205) 254-2025. The contact-page target is tel:(205)254-2025, parentheses included, no space, no plus. The city page prints 205-254-2025 and spells Furnances in the address line. slossfurnaces.org. Homepage and contact page, checked in October 2026: Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday noon to 4 p.m., admission free. Closed Thursday, October 8, through Sunday, October 11, on the org pages, with no year on that line. The city page dates the closure October 8–11, 2026, and dates Furnace Fest October 10–11, 2026. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, and it is outside that closure, so the printed door is noon to 4 p.m. Mulgani's Jowers account is the WVTM update of October 30, 2024, 8:48 p.m. CDT. The homepage does not print Mulgani.

Alabama Theatre, Birmingham

The Alabama Theatre will sell you a ticket, and the contact page says the office is typically open Monday through Friday. The contact page, read in October 2026, does not print Cecil Whitmire, Stanleigh Malotte, or a shadow on the stage. A Bham Now page bylined Rushing Waters, "LAST UPDATED 09/22/19," with 2018/10/22 in the URL, says Whitmire described a 1986 rehearsal in Alan Brown's book "Haunted Birmingham." I opened that Bham Now page. I did not open the book.

The contact page prints "1817 Third Avenue North," "Birmingham, AL 35203," "General number (205) 252-2262," and "Fax (205) 776-1623." A direct request for the contact HTML returned a captcha page, not the theatre text, so I did not save a tel: href. The visit line uses the ten printed digits with an ordinary +1 link. The Commons category prints "1817 Third Avenue North, Birmingham, AL 35203." File titles in the HABS set on that same category print "1811 Third Avenue North." 1817, and 1811, are both on Commons. They are not the same door number. The visit line uses 1817, the number on the contact page I opened.

The contact page says the theatre "typically holds office hours Monday-Friday, 9am-4pm." It says the theatre "does not have a full-time box office." Advance tickets are "sold online at ticketmaster.com." Tickets "may be bought in person at the Alabama Theatre box office when it is open for a ticketed event starting 90 minutes before showtime." October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. Sunday is not in the Monday-through-Friday line. I did not open that Sunday's performance list. A walk-in that day depends on a show I did not confirm. Private tours go to tours@alabamatheatre.com. That email is not a Sunday hour.

The 2019 Bham Now page says that one day in 1986, Whitmire "and a singer rehearsed for a benefit concert" and "a shadowy figure crossed the stage in their line of sight." It says they "narrowed the suspects down to the ghost of Stanleigh Malotte," "the theater's house organist from 1936 to 1955." Later in the same section the page spells "Marlotte." Malotte, and Marlotte, are not the same spelling. The page also spells "Wurlizter." Those spellings are the page's. The same page says an employee checking sight lines watched an empty seat lower. That employee is not named. I am not pasting an unnamed seat onto Whitmire.

Lewis Powell IV's Southern Spirit Guide page, posted December 15, 2013, says it replaces an October 4, 2010, article. Powell writes, "According to Dr. Alan Brown," that Whitmire "reported that the singer watched a shadowy figure emerge from behind the edge of the curtain just offstage and disappear," and that "He believes the spirit may be that of one of the former theatre organists." Powell's paragraph does not print the name Malotte. A figure in their line of sight, and a figure the singer watched, are not the same telling. Malotte, and "one of the former theatre organists," are not the same identification. Powell's sources list Brown's "Haunted Birmingham" (2009) and "Stories from the Haunted South" (2004). I did not open either book. The 2019 page is a later retelling. It is not the book. The contact page does not print Whitmire.

Visit: 1817 Third Avenue North, Birmingham, AL 35203. (205) 252-2262. Fax (205) 776-1623. I did not save a tel: href. HABS file titles on the Commons category print 1811 Third Avenue North. alabamatheatre.com. Contact page, checked in October 2026: office Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The box office opens 90 minutes before a ticketed event. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. I did not open that Sunday's list. Whitmire's 1986 rehearsal is the Bham Now page updated September 22, 2019, which attributes the account to Brown's book. I did not open the book. Powell's December 15, 2013, page is an earlier retelling, and it does not print Malotte. The contact page does not print either page.

Tutwiler Hotel, Birmingham

The Tutwiler Hotel will rent you a room. The Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau page, read in October 2026, titles it "Tutwiler Hotel, a DoubleTree by Hilton." That page does not print Kim Johnston, a little girl, or a knock. Johnston, "founder of SCARe," told Bham Now, on the page updated September 22, 2019, that her team caught audio of a little girl saying "knock, knock."

The address does not sit on one line. The CVB page prints "(205) 322-2100" and "2021 Park Pl." The clickable target I saved is tel:(205) 322-2100. The target keeps the parentheses and the space. It does not use a plus. The visit line uses the ten digits with an ordinary +1 link. It does not use tel:(205) 322-2100. The CVB address line does not print a ZIP, and it does not spell Place. Erin Z. Bass, in Deep South Magazine on December 3, 2014, prints "2012 Park Place in Birmingham, Alabama." 2021 Park Pl, and 2012 Park Place, are not the same line. The Commons category for Tutwiler Hotel prints "Street address 608 21st Street North." 608 21st Street North is not 2021 Park Pl. I did not open a page that calls the current hotel a Drury Inn. A request for the Hilton hotel-info URL timed out. I am using the CVB page I opened, not a Hilton page I did not get.

Bass's 2014 story calls the property a Hampton and retells a bartender who kept finding lights and stoves on, then a meal set out, and says the staff began closing with "Good night Major!" The bartender is not named. The manager is not named. A comment on that page, from Nancy, dated May 6, 2015, says she "Stayed on the sixth floor last night" and "Definitely heard knocking," and that she had not read the history until the next morning. Nancy's knock is her comment. It is not Bass naming a bartender. I am not treating the unnamed 2014 bartender as Nancy.

The 2019 Bham Now page quotes Johnston: "I can confirm there is a little girl's spirit who haunts several floors there," and "We caught audio of a little girl saying 'knock, knock' in a sweet little voice." Edward Wolfgang Poe, "owner of Birmingham Historic Touring Company," says on that page, "Staff have seen on security cameras a little girl in a long dress and pigtails skipping up and down the halls on the sixth floor," and that people "walk by without acknowledging her," and that "Some have seen her turn and walk into a room without opening a door." Poe also says a World War I family lived on the sixth floor, the father was killed, the mother died of tuberculosis, and the girl may have died in an orphanage fire. That family story is Poe's telling. I did not open a service record or a death record. A little girl's voice on a recording, and Major Tutwiler in Bass's 2014 close, are not the same claim. The CVB page does not print either one. I did not open a front-desk hour. The public door is a hotel you can book. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. I did not find a Sunday closure on the CVB page.

Visit: 2021 Park Pl., the CVB page. The page does not print a ZIP. Bass, December 3, 2014, prints 2012 Park Place. The Commons category prints 608 21st Street North. (205) 322-2100. The site target is tel:(205) 322-2100, parentheses and a space, no plus. inbirmingham.com. CVB page, checked in October 2026: Tutwiler Hotel, a DoubleTree by Hilton. I did not open a front-desk clock. Johnston's "knock, knock" is the Bham Now page updated September 22, 2019. Nancy's sixth-floor knock is her comment of May 6, 2015, on Bass's December 3, 2014, story. The CVB page does not print Johnston or Nancy.

Redmont Hotel, Birmingham

The Redmont Hotel will rent you a room. The CVB page, read in October 2026, titles it "The Redmont Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton." That page does not print Edward Poe, a guitar, or Hank Williams. Poe told Bham Now, on the page updated September 22, 2019, that guests have reported a guitar and a voice saying "Old Hank."

The CVB page prints "(205) 957-6829" and "2101 5th Ave N." The clickable target I saved is tel:(205) 957-6829. The target keeps the parentheses and the space. It does not use a plus. The visit line uses the ten digits with an ordinary +1 link. It does not use tel:(205) 957-6829. The same information block prints lgreenshields@spirehotels.com on the phone line. The email is not a second phone. The address line does not print a ZIP, does not spell Avenue, and does not print North as a word. A request for the Hilton hotel page returned an Akamai notice, not the hotel text. I am using the CVB page. The CVB text says the hotel "is the city's oldest operating hotel and is now its newest." "Oldest" and "newest" are the page's sentence. I am not using them as a checked fact.

The 2019 page says Williams "died at age 29 on New Year's Day 1953" on a trip from Montgomery, and that "the last hotel he spent the night in was" the Redmont. Those sentences are the article's. I did not open a death record. The ghost sentence is "According to Poe, guests of The Redmont have reported hearing a guitar strumming portions of Williams' songs and a voice uttering his nickname, 'Old Hank.'" Poe is reporting guests. The page does not quote Poe saying he heard the guitar. A Bham Now story by Nathan Watson, updated October 23, 2020, says guests and workers have seen "the ghost of Clifford Stiles." That 2020 paragraph does not name the worker or the guest. I am not treating Stiles as Poe's 2019 guitar. The CVB page does not print Poe, Williams, or Stiles. I did not open a front-desk hour. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. I did not find a Sunday closure on the CVB page.

Visit: 2101 5th Ave N, the CVB page. The line does not print a ZIP. (205) 957-6829. The site target is tel:(205) 957-6829. The same block prints lgreenshields@spirehotels.com. inbirmingham.com. CVB page, checked in October 2026: The Redmont Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton. I did not open a front-desk clock. Poe's report of a guitar and "Old Hank" is the Bham Now page updated September 22, 2019. The 2020 Stiles paragraph does not name a witness. The CVB page does not print Poe.

Linn-Henley Research Library, Birmingham

The Birmingham Public Library will let you into the Southern History room. The Southern History page, read in October 2026, does not print the name Linn-Henley, and it does not print Edward Poe, a pencil, or Fant Thornley. Poe told Bham Now, on the page updated September 22, 2019, that a short pencil on a first-floor reading-room desk rolled away and rolled back. The Commons file I saved describes "the main research room in the Linn-Henley Research Library." Linn-Henley is the file. Southern History is the library page. They are not the same label.

The Southern History page prints "2100 Park Place," "Birmingham, Alabama 35203-2744," and "(205) 226-3665." I did not save a tel: href on that department line. The locations page prints Central at "2100 Park Place, 35203-2744" and "(205) 226-3600." The clickable target I saved for that main line is tel:12052263600. The target starts with 1. It does not use a plus. It does not use parentheses. 3665, and 3600, are not the same extension. The visit line uses 2100 Park Place and the department's ten digits, (205) 226-3665, with an ordinary +1 link. It does not use tel:12052263600, and it does not pretend the department line had that target.

The hours do not match across the two pages for Tuesday night. The Southern History page prints "Monday - Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m." The locations page prints the same Monday-through-Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. line for "The Research Library (Southern History and Archives)." The Central building line on that locations page is "Monday, Wednesday - Saturday 9:00 a.m.- 6:00 p.m. Tuesday - 9:00 a.m.- 8:00 p.m." Tuesday until 6, and Tuesday until 8, are not the same clock. One is the research department. One is the Central building. Sunday is not on either line. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. The printed research door that day is shut.

Poe, on the 2019 page, says he has watched the short pencils in "the reading room on the first floor." He says, "You write and put your pencil down on the desk, and it rolls across the desk and stops. Then rolls back toward you, and stops." He says, "Some people have watched their pencil turn around in circles, and one reported the pencil stood up on end like it was trying to write something." The page ties that to Fant Thornley, "director of the Birmingham Public Library from 1953 to his death in 1970," and to the smell of Chesterfield cigarettes. A rolling pencil is Poe's account. It is not a finding that a spirit has been proved. The same page says Alan Brown's book calls Thornley benevolent. I did not open the book. A 2020 Bham Now story says that in 1977 archivist Marvin Yeomans Whiting saw elevator doors open with nobody stepping out and smelled Chesterfields, "According to the Birmingham Public Library." I opened the 2020 story. I did not open a library page that tells Whiting's account. I am not writing as if I opened that page. The Southern History page I opened does not print Poe, Thornley, or Whiting.

Visit: 2100 Park Place, Birmingham, Alabama 35203-2744, the Southern History page. (205) 226-3665. That department line had no tel: href in the HTML I saved. The locations page prints Central at (205) 226-3600, target tel:12052263600. cobpl.org. Southern History page, checked in October 2026: Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Central building line adds a Tuesday hour until 8 p.m. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, and Sunday is not on those lines. Poe's pencil is the Bham Now page updated September 22, 2019. The department page does not print Linn-Henley, and it does not print Poe.

Princess Theatre, Decatur

The Princess Theatre will sell you a ticket on Second Avenue. The homepage, read in October 2026, does not print Mary McDonald's ghost story, a slamming door, or a piece of art leaving a wall. McDonald, listed as "Programing Director," and Jody Keith, "Office Manager," told Keilee Terry, in a Visit Decatur story dated October 6, 2023, about doors, footsteps, and art on the second floor. The sign on the building reads PRINCESS. The pages I opened spell Princess. I did not open a separate Prince Theatre with a named claim.

The address does not sit on one line. The homepage heading prints "112 Second Avenue NE Decatur, AL US." It does not print a ZIP. A footer link on the about page prints "112 2nd Ave NE, Decatur, AL 35601." Second Avenue, and 2nd Ave, are both on the site. The ZIP is on the footer link. It is not on the heading. The phone is "256-350-1745." The clickable target I saved is tel:256-350-1745. The target has no parentheses and no plus. The visit line uses the ten digits with an ordinary +1 link. It does not use tel:256-350-1745. The email on the page is boxoffice@princesstheatre.org. The Commons category prints "112 Second Avenue NE, Decatur, AL 35601" and "Maximum capacity 677." 677 is the category. I did not see 677 on the theatre pages I opened.

The hours on the homepage are "Monday: CLOSED," "Tuesday - Thursday: 9:00 am - 2:00 pm," "Friday - Sunday: CLOSED." October 4, 2026, is a Sunday. The printed door that day is shut. The homepage invites a scroll of featured shows. The text I saved does not print a show title or a show date. I did not open a performance list beyond that.

The staff titles do not match across the years. Terry's October 6, 2023, story spells "Programing Director" and calls Keith the office manager. The about page, read in October 2026, prints "Mary McDonald Ph.D" and "Programming Director," and it prints "jody Keith" as "Managing Director." Programing, and Programming, are not the same spelling. Office manager, and managing director, are not the same title. The lowercase j is the about page's. I did not open a page that dates the title change.

McDonald told Terry there are areas of the building she prefers not to enter at night when she is alone. Terry writes that McDonald and Keith "walked up and down the halls of the second story" and told her what they had experienced: doors slamming, footsteps in the hall when nobody else was in the building, "Art flying off walls right in front of them," and stage lights turning on and off "when no one is manning them." Those four are what Terry says the two of them told her. The buried worker under the stage, the child in the orchestra pit, and the woman at the elevator shaft are stories Terry says older cast members passed down. They are not sentences McDonald speaks as her own sighting in that interview. I am not moving the passed-down stories onto McDonald's name. The 2026 homepage does not print Terry, McDonald's hallway account, or Keith.

Visit: 112 Second Avenue NE, Decatur, AL, the heading. The footer link prints 112 2nd Ave NE, Decatur, AL 35601. (256) 350-1745. The site target is tel:256-350-1745. boxoffice@princesstheatre.org. princesstheatre.org. Homepage, checked in October 2026: Tuesday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Closed Monday and Friday through Sunday. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, so the printed door is shut. I did not open a show title on that homepage text. McDonald and Keith's hallway account is Terry, Visit Decatur, October 6, 2023. The homepage does not print it.

How to use this

Start with the door that matches the week you are actually having. Sloss Furnaces is (205) 254-2025, at 20 32nd Street North, Birmingham, AL 35222. The contact-page target is tel:(205)254-2025. The city page spells Furnances and prints 205-254-2025. Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free. October 4, 2026, is a Sunday, outside the October 8–11 closure, so the printed door is noon to 4 p.m. The org pages call October 8 through 11 Furnace Fest and do not print a year. The city page dates the closure 2026 and dates the fest itself October 10–11, 2026. Ty Mulgani on the WVTM update of October 30, 2024, 8:48 p.m. CDT, is Ty Malugani the historian on the city page, and Malugani the deputy director at tyler@slossfurnaces.org on the contact page. I did not open a page that dates that title. I did not open the 2017 reporting the 2024 page points at. "The only thing" pulled from the furnace is Mulgani's sentence. "The only" blast furnace is the city's heading. I am not using either "only" as a checked fact. The 2020 Bham Now line, "I'm going to be working there," is not the 2024 sentence, and I did not open BhamWiki.

The Alabama Theatre is (205) 252-2262, at 1817 Third Avenue North, Birmingham, AL 35203. Fax (205) 776-1623. I did not save a tel: href. HABS titles print 1811. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The box office is not full-time. It opens 90 minutes before a ticketed show. October 4 is a Sunday. I did not open that show list. Whitmire's 1986 figure is the Bham Now page updated September 22, 2019, which says the account is in Brown's "Haunted Birmingham." I did not open the book. That page spells Malotte and, later, Marlotte. Powell's December 15, 2013, page, citing Brown, says the singer watched the figure and does not print Malotte. The contact page does not print the rehearsal.

The Tutwiler Hotel is (205) 322-2100, at 2021 Park Pl. on the CVB page, which does not print a ZIP. The target is tel:(205) 322-2100. Bass, December 3, 2014, prints 2012 Park Place and an unnamed bartender. The Commons category prints 608 21st Street North. The CVB title says DoubleTree. I did not open a Drury page, and the Hilton hotel-info request timed out. Johnston's "knock, knock" and Poe's girl on the sixth-floor cameras are the Bham Now page updated September 22, 2019. Nancy's own knock is her May 6, 2015, comment. I did not open a front-desk hour. Sunday is not a closure on the CVB page I opened.

The Redmont Hotel is (205) 957-6829, at 2101 5th Ave N on the CVB page, which does not print a ZIP. The target is tel:(205) 957-6829. lgreenshields@spirehotels.com is on that phone block. The Hilton page I requested returned an Akamai notice. "Oldest" and "newest" are the CVB's sentence. Poe's guitar and "Old Hank" are the Bham Now page updated September 22, 2019, and he is reporting guests. The 2020 Stiles paragraph names no witness. I did not open a front-desk hour.

The Southern History department is (205) 226-3665, at 2100 Park Place, Birmingham, Alabama 35203-2744. That line had no tel: href. Central's main number on the locations page is (205) 226-3600, target tel:12052263600. Research hours are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Central building line runs until 8 p.m. on Tuesday. October 4 is a Sunday, and Sunday is not printed, so the research door is shut. The library pages I opened do not print Linn-Henley. The Commons file does. Poe's pencil is the Bham Now page updated September 22, 2019. Whiting in 1977 is the 2020 Bham Now page attributing the story to the library. I did not open that library account.

The Princess Theatre is (256) 350-1745, at 112 Second Avenue NE, Decatur, AL, on the heading. The footer prints 112 2nd Ave NE, Decatur, AL 35601. The target is tel:256-350-1745. boxoffice@princesstheatre.org. Tuesday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Closed Monday and Friday through Sunday. October 4 is a Sunday, so the printed door is shut. I did not save a show title from the homepage text. McDonald is "Programing Director" in Terry's October 6, 2023, story and "Programming Director" on the 2026 about page. Keith is office manager in 2023 and managing director, with a lowercase j, on the about page. The hallway doors, the footsteps, and the art are what Terry says the two of them told her. The buried worker and the elevator woman are passed-down cast stories. They are not McDonald's sighting. The sign reads PRINCESS.

If a guide adds a ghost this research did not find on the venue's site or in the news pieces cited below, enjoy it as a story and leave it there.

These six doors are not in one town. Compact binoculars and an Alabama road atlas are the practical extras if you are driving between them.
