  • Self Portrait- Kim Eric Lilots self-portrait without skin is a ghoulishly glamorous ring. 2003 Smithsonian American Art Museum ALLEGEDLY HAUNTED PLACES by sergio ortiz | WCnewsmagazine 2.0 Asheville- It is said that the ghost of aman named Dr. Jamie Smith haunts a locale known as Chicken Alley. Dr. Smith is said to have been killed in a ball-room fight in 1902 at the Broadways Tavern. A year later the tavern was destroyed by fire. Chicken Alley is close to the old tavern, and it is there that the un- -resting spirit of Dr. Smith lingers about. Asheville- Helens Bridge is named after a woman who killed herself after the devastating loss of her daughter who died during a fire at Zalandia Castle. If you go on Halloween night you can try to conjure the spirit of Helen, if you succeed, your car will mess up in some way; this will prevent you from going down the mountain. Cullowhee- The legend is that sometime during the 1990s a girl hung herself in the east wing on the 8" floor of Scott Residence Hall. In that floor many strange occurrences with sightings of the young lady have been reported. Bathroom lights also turn on and off as well as doors opening and shutting at will. EEN EO NOS RRO OIL SMM SN EET SL MAES ACCS AA Cullowhee- Before the Moore Building became a classroom building, it was a residence hall for students studying to be teachers. Its said that during this time a young woman was killed by a prospective lover. Although the man was caught, he was soon released thanks to his mental condition and his familys connections. Shortly after the womans death, students began reporting sounds of crying, screaming, and pacing. In the 1980s the Moore building was converted to classrooms, yet strange things continue to happen. Dillsboro- During Norfolk-Southerns expansion into the southwest mountains of North Carolina, convicts were brought in to complete the hard work at a tunnel outside of Dillsboro. In order to get to the work site, the men had to cross a portion of the Tuckasiegee River via raft. One fateful day a strong thunderstorm caused the Tuck to swell its banks. The raft the men used to cross rolled. Because the convicts were chained together they struggle against the current. All but one of them died. The men are buried on the mountain above the tunnel. Its said during hard rain people can hear chains rattling and the echoes of men splashing in the water yelling for help. This is the same tunnel where Harrison Ford walks into in the movie The Fugitive.
