The market that once stood at Fifth and Broad streets was wiped out in a rare winter tornado in 1878, which some say was brought on by a curse from an evangelist who was denied permission to preach at there. The Haunted Pillar is all that’s left of the market, and it is the stuff of local legend. Try to move it or knock it down, or even touch it, some say, and you’ll die.

This past December, a wreck happened and a are struck the pillar, leaving it in ruins. It is no longer there.

The pillar is long gone. A wreck destroyed it.
The pillars might be gone but still the energy and spirits linger on
