They absolutely despised each other. But their young love was much to be reckoned with. The girl, a beautiful brunette at the age of 20, was named Belle Victors. Her beau, a strong and handsome man was 21. And his name was Dominic Kingsley. The couple was so in love they met as much as possible near the Cahaba River, even on the coldest and stormiest nights. They also had to be very careful about their meetings as not to get caught. So they had a method for their meetings, When they were to meet one of them would light a single white candle near the rivers edge. There was a path near the river so when the other walked down it at night if they saw the candle burning they would soon meet at "The spot”. Things started to get rough for Belle, food was scarce and Dominic's family and hers were fighting worse than ever. So on a dreaded stormy night she went off to light the candle. She really wanted to see and hold her lover so her problems would go away. The rivers waters were especially high and the current was very strong on this night. While bending over to place the candle near the rivers edge she lost her balance and fell in. Moments later she had drowned. On his walk on the path Dominic noticed the candle and hurried to their spot. He waited for hours but Belle never showed. So he went home for the night. Early the next morning her body was found much further down downstream by a local fisherman. Wearing her simple white dress, her icy blue eyes staring off at nothing as if looking for her soul mate. When Dominic heard this news he rushed to the body. His life was over to him, his soul mate was gone. Later that night he went to the rivers edge (where they placed the candles) and lit a single white candle. Then he hanged himself from a nearby oak tree. That’s the story two young lovers who's lives ended too soon. Numerous accounts of "Ghostly activities" have occurred the spot where the candles were lit is now known as the Cahaba bridge. It’s located in Civitan Park. The tree that Dominic Hung himself from is long gone. But the spot is still haunted. (Its about 15 feet from the Bridge) At night (usually around midnight) you will see a woman in a white dress wandering the rivers edge. Reports of people seeing and trying to talk to her usually ended in her vanishing. But one thing is always the same. They all spoke of her Icy blue eyes. Dominics ghost is a bit scarier than Belles.

Shortly after, the tower where the Sarah burned the candles for her husband, caught fire. But as fire crews arrived, the fire was gone. There was no evidence of burned wood, not even a wisp of smoke.

Carrollton
Pickens County Courthouse No one really knew who set the fire that burnt down the original Carrollton Courthouse on November 16, 1876, but everyone blamed Henry Wells, a rowdy black man who lived outside of town. He was arrested One afternoon in February 1878, a lynch mob gathered in front of the new courthouse and demanded that Wells be turned over to them. Suddenly, a lightening bolt struck the roof, killing Wells. The flash of brilliant light etched his defiant expression into the window pane, and no amount of scrubbing or solvents in the decades since has been able to erase it. And on those when thunderstorms roll through Pickens County, it is said the ghost of Henry Wells stares out from the garret window of the old courthouse.
