Durham resident Melissa McCullough saw the event as a gun issue. She carried a sign proclaiming in black magic marker, “Each day, one woman’s life is lost to domestic violence with a gun.” McCullough was there to represent the Million Mom March, an organiza- SoKoim CASUAL CLOTHING OUTLET WARNING!

I tion active against gun violence and attempts by gun manufacturers to mar ket guns to women. “We thought (the march) was impor tant,” McCullough said. “It used to be just wife beating, now it has accelerated to the point where women are dying (by guns).” After the march, the participants clus tered around the post office steps to hear guest speaker Rep. Joe Hackney, D- Orange. Like all those involved, Hackney believed the march was crucial to the cause. “With the fact that we have domestic violence in our community, I think it’s important to keep it front and center. A march every year is a very good way to do that.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu. ♦ 706 NINTH ST. DURHAM 286-7262 ♦ From Page Three HAUNTING From Page 3 in the lives of the people it involves. According to legend, when the Zalandia Castle in Asheville caught fire, a local woman named Helen lost her only child. Following the deadly blaze, it is said that Helen hung herself from a nearby bridge after leaving in a state of grief. Daring visitors can attempt to conjure up Helen’s spirit only on Halloween. But brave souls beware - it is said that visitors who contact the ghost become stranded on the mountain when the spirit of Helen wreaks havoc on their cars, keep ing them from fleeing the haunted scene.

Poole used to ride his horse on his estate each evening until Union soldiers confiscated the horse during the Civil War. His attachment to the land influenced Poole to include its preservation in his will - not a tree was to be removed. Shortly after his death, legend has it, Poole was reunited with his horse. The two were often spotted guarding his land. In the 19205, the land was sold to log gers who attempted to strip the property of trees. Ironically, each tree cut down was deemed worthless, rotting from the inside out, leaving “Poole’s Woods” aban doned for the phantom horse and rider.

But not all officers will be in uniform, Cousins said. “We will have ALE offi cers in plainclothes and some of our offi cers in plainclothes.” Items the police will be trying to keep off the street are alcohol, glass bottles, fireworks and explosives, dogs, weapons, paint and flammable sub- experts, Wilmington not only attracts beachgoers, but ghosts as well. In 1792, the first public federal exe cution took place in Wilmington at the old gallows downtown. Many execu tions followed in the same place, and in 1860, William Price built a home there -a decision he would later regret. Within the first few of days of living in its new home, the Price family experi enced supernatural activities - beginning with hearing loud footsteps on the stairs. Price would investigate the situation only to find that no one was there. According to family documents, the family smelled pipe smoke in the home, but Price didn’t allow smoking inside. They also smelled banana bread baking and yams cooking when there was no one in the kitchen. Local historians believe these scents were the last requests of the prisoners before their executions. stances. Also, parts of costumes that can be used as weapons will not be allowed on the street. People with items falling under that category will have the option to turn and leave or put the object in a trash can as they enter Franklin Street. Cousins also warned that parking would be a big issue tonight. “There’s not going to be much park ing downtown,” she said. “We’ll put bags on the parking meters and around 6 o’clock we’ll begin towing.” Local proprietors also are preparing for the droves of people. Mark Burnett, manager of He’s Not Here, located at 112 1/2 W. Franklin St., said he would have extra staff on hand PRF.MIERE NIGHT ALL NEW EPISODES of your favorite STV Shows 5:00 pm - 1:00 am Tomorrow Campus Cable Ch. 22 Chapel Hill Ch. 4 For more info visit http://uncstv.org Qllfp laily ©ar Price’s niece once said a cloud filled her mirror, making her unable to see her face. She turned her head only to discover that nobody was behind her. Suddenly she felt fingertips in her hair, and she turned around. But once again, no one was there. Families and businesses have lived in the house after the Price family and have experienced similar occurrences. Recendy, the building was occupied by the local chamber of commerce, and while a reporter was there on a routine visit, he heard the footsteps. The reporter went to the stairs only to find no one there, so he took a series of pictures. The last photograph had a silhouette of a man on the stairs, but the reporter had not seen anyone on the steps earlier. Now the building is the office of an architect firm. The workers turn on all of the lights at night while they work, because they feel uncomfortable in the building when it is completely dark. and will have a cover charge to get into the bar. “There usually are very few prob lems, but for the most part everyone’s happy and having a good time,” he said. Dan Markscheid, owner of Gotham, located at 306-H W. Franklin St., also said he is ready for the throngs of peo ple. He said Gotham will open an hour earlier than usual at 9 p.m. “We’re staffing up,” he said. “Even though it’s a Tuesday night, we do expect there’ll be a significant amount of people out.” The City Editor can be reached at citydesk@unc.edu.
