A few more Weatherford legends

Steve and I talked to some residents about local mysteries and ghost stories this morning. A caller named Melissa regaled us with tales of the Greenwood Cemetery “witch’s tomb,” and Nadeen Murphree recalled the story of the Curtis Mines, where lost gold was supposedly buried on what is now Weatherford College. Afterward, Ann Friedman at KYQX found Web links to some very entertaining legends.

All of this, is of course, what my Uncle Donnie would call “hooey,” but after all, isn’t that what the Internet is for?
