Events
A description of this area would only be complete with at least a mention of some local ghost lore. Near the intersection of Kali Oka Road and Oak Grove Road, there have been reports of supernatural neighbors: a white woman lighting candles in the windows of an old plantation estate and a tall black man spotted walking the grounds at odd hours. There are several rumors and scenarios involving this spectral couple, one of which ties in with stories about a bridge on Kali Oka Road that remains haunted by the ghost of a child. Residents claim to hear its screams and cries when they visit, making it one of several alleged “Cry Baby Bridges” in Alabama.Transportation
