In June of 1938, a man named Carl Pruitt
was said to have uncovered his wife’s
infid€lity, by catching her with͜ another man
in their own martial bed. Distraught with the
betrayal, he grabbed a chain and str*ngles.
The possibility that Pruitt’s tombstone was cursed became
more accepted by the community following what appeared at
first to be a freak accident.
A young group of boys rode their bikes over to the cemetery.
One of the boys, James Collins, threw some rocks at the tomb
stone which caused some chips to it.
As he rode home, he lost control of his bike and crashed in
to a tree. Somehow, the bike’s sprocket chain came loose and
wrapped around the boy’s neck, strangling him.
By the mid 1940s one local man, Arthur Lewis, decided he was
going to prove that the story's superstitious nonsense and
went into the cemetery with a hammer with the sole intention
of destroying the headstone once and for all.
People later found the man dead at the gates, the chain used to
lock the gates somehow wrapped around his neck and str*ngles him
to death.
