As told to my sons....Some years back, about ten now I guess, the town drunk Old Joe Wiggins was stumbling home from the local watering hole after drinking his dinner. While at the bar Joe would dance with the ladies in attendance and he would always have his evening filled with company as he was quite the dancer.Since the bar sits next to the CSX right of way through town , Joe would follow the tracks home to his shanty by the lake. This one particular night the fog was strong off the lake as it sometimes is in late October. Joe wandered toward home in the mist only to be met by two engines light creeping northbound. The results were horrible and tragic for Joe as he was split in two at the waist. The police said that when they recovered the body you couldn't tell anything was wrong with Joe except now he had an extra 10 feet separating his nose from his navel. Now its been said by reputable folk that in the late October mist if you find yourself walking at night ,down by the lake, on the tracks , you will first get a sent of cutty sark, and then if you listen to the night you can hear strains of Glen Miller and if you peer hard enough into that mist you'll see Old Joe Wiggins dancing with his legs and feet on the north side of the tracks and his body on the south. And as you stare in fright at this sight in the night watch out for those two engines light....
