Rocker by the Tracks
Inside this white house, adjacent to the railroad tracks, a rocking chair is said to rock back and forth on its own in an upstairs corner. Footsteps have also been heard on the stairs.

ok my grandfather used to love to tell stories when I was young and I just used to go along with them letting him have his fun sometimes it would scare me cause I thought so to but I was young he passed away dec.28 and that weekend I spent in Montgomery with I found out the truth :: He told me that the houses in our neighborhood was built on top of a cemetry that was true My grandmother and mom got dog after the two oldest kids moved out(my aunt then my uncle duh Em) Anyway they got this little thing of a dog and some way or another came up with the name Mr.French (don’t ask me why I wasn’t alive) and that dog hated my grandfather they were mean to each other for a long time as happens to everyone and everything the dog died well they buried it… in the backyard! Well shortly after Mr.French died you could hear the dog cruzin down the hallway and the master bedroom door(see Mr.French would sleep at the foot of the bed until my grandfather would come back from one of his trips and kick him out) but everyone in the house could hear it at night but the only one who seemed to mind the nightly routine be carried on was him! So often in the mornings my mother and grandmother would pick at him seeing as how he had a lousy night saying things like,”It sounded like Mr.French was running the halls all night!” or “Nelson, I told you not to kick that dog all the time! He’s coming back to get you now” But the truth is long after the dog went you could hear him run the hall push the door open with his paws and then shortly after come out like he was being kicked out all over again and then run the halls for awhile. Call it weird or lame don’t matter cause I know now that it’s true it no longer happens in the house but unless Nelson(my grandfather) said his sorries then I guess that they’ll be carrying this on somewhere else!!!

What cemetery was the neighborhood built upon? Was it a small family cemetery? Or was it a vast, town/local/church cemetery?

Comment by Sia Nyteblade | 06.6.2006 | 2:04 pm
This is really of interest to me since I recently bought a white house adjacent to the railroad tracks. I know very little about the house I bought. It is two story built in 1910. If anyone could give me any more info please email me @ patwat3@bellsouth.net

So, what’s the story behind this rocking chair?
Comment by Snake | 07.6.2006 | 10:27 am
I am from Parrish, and I have never heard this story. However, I have often heard a story about a woman throwing her three children over the bridge, and you can hear them playing at night. This bridge is on the road from Dora to Cordova right before you get to the stop sign, if you turn left you can go towards Parrish or if you turn right you will be going towards 78 or Sipsey.

I am from Jasper, Al and I have never heard about the rocker. It does not sound that scary to me. What sounds scary to me is Tear Drop in Carbon Hill. It is in the shape of a tear drop and if you drive around it (i think 3 times) and get out of your vehicle and stand at this tree someone will come up and grab you. There is this other place in Jasper that is very scary. It is kinda in West Jasper at an old train trussell. The story is that this lady was running from someone on the train tracks and sliped and fell from them. If you go to that spot at the time she fell you can her her screaming and then you see her fall. * IF ANYONE KNOWS THE REST OF THE STORY PLEASE CORRECT ME! *

I have been to Alabama and have heard this same story I now live in Oregon. We have the same story here. I have seen it with my own eyes. I am planning to go back to Alabama so can some one please tell me how to get there so I can see if it is the same story.

They Probably just put stiff tp make things look real but are not. They are just trying to make money off of us!
Comment by Carly | 12.16.2006 | 11:24 am
They Probably just make stuff up to try and make people come and see it. They might put lights for the foot steps and have the rocking chairs atomatic. so ya dont believe everything you hear!
Comment by Carly | 12.16.2006 | 11:25 am
Dog’s don’t have souls, therefore when dogs die, as much as I don’t like it, they just die…that’s it, good bye to the dog…they do not turn into ghosts.

ok, i live in cordova and i have my whole life… and i have heard many many stories about haunted houses, and i have never heard about this one. as a matter of fact i dont even know of a white house near the railroad tracks and i live next to them.
Comment by Amber | 03.9.2007 | 1:57 am
I have been to many so called haunted houses and places and I have yet to see any of theese sightings. But I do believe that there are demons that can be there causing theese sightings but there are no such things as ghosts people do not come back after they are dead they go to heaven ot hell.

Greetings feelow Ghost Hunters. The Deadman here. A few years back, a couple of friends and I stumbled upon this place by accident. It is along the railroad tracks out damn near in the middle of nowhere. We have been known to track down a few places and investigate for years, but that particular night…we came unprepared…We left the house intrigued, but never found our way back. Would love to go back. If anyone is actually interested (for fun or for a more scientific approach) please E-MAIL me back. Would love to re-unite or start up another group of Ghost Hunters…If interested let me know:)

Unfortunately this house was torn down 3 or 4 years ago. Before it was, 3 girlfriends and I went into this house. It was really bizarre. The house was knee-full with things from early to mid 1900’s such as magazines, papers, old checks, and oddly enough bunches of old typewriters. There was a housefull of antique furniture(including the rocker by the upstairs window). While we were in the house we didn’t actually see anything per se, but we all had a sick feeling that something horrible and evil had occured there. Though we were in quite a hurry to leave, I did manage to get a couple pics and an old local phone book. When we first took these things they smelled old of course but that is all, later we had to throw the things away because they were making my car smell like the smell of death. It was severe enough of a smell(like decayed roadkill)that my car had to be aired for two days just to drive it.

Interesting Story…it has been a few years since we ventured out that direction…So they tore it down…that blows. Would have like to have gone back.

I know where the house is that you are talking about, I acutally had the mother & son as patients in the local Nursing Home. As far as I know, nothing like a killing or anything like that happened there. I do know that the husband was mean to the mother & son and eventually left them for another woman and moved to Tennessee and started a new family there. The little lady who lived there was a precious woman, but the son was very strange and was obssesive compulsive about germs(imagine that!). He did collect old magazines, newspapers, ect. & oddly enough, typewriters and even had a large amount of the typewriters with him when he was living at the local Nursing Home. As far as I know, he is still living, where, I don’t know. As for his sweet little mother, she passed away in 2003 I believe. She was a precious, precious lady. I live in Cordova and the house actually needed to be torn down because it was condemed at the time the son was still living there. Their last name is all I will tell you, and it is Aaron.

This house was built in the late 1800s. But we believe some body had died there.We went in there there was alot of detail and noises to prove that it was haunted.We did see some faces on the second floor. But when we left that same window that we saw that face the curtain started to shift from up down and then back again really quickly. But really thats all I know.

I think it was very scary to hear about a chair rocking when you think no one is in it but a ghost is in the chair. Some people might even tear it down from all the scary things that have been happening! And I don’t understand why people pretend there was a ghost in their house! One person wrote there was a ghost that grabbed my but, but someone actually wrote it in a bad word. I don’t like hearing that because I’m 10 years old for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live across the street from where this house once stood.It burnt to the ground in 2001,I went and took pic’s of the remains for the son, it is true that Mrs.Aaron and her son were both in the nursing home,she passed in 2004 from cancer and her son was moved to a different home soon after.The house was not haunted her son was hit by a train on the tracks infront of the house when he was around 11,his father and grandfather were very prominent men in our community the family built the house as a statement to that in the late 1800’s.After the grandfather and father passed only the son and his mother were left, it had no running water,no heat,and the electricail was from the 1920’s that didn’t work,after the son was hit on the tracks he suffered major brain damage,which left him with several cumpolsive disorders[hording things being one of them].The rocking chair in the window was in the son’s room where he spent 90% of his time looking out at a world he doesn’t understand;with no electric and no lights at night a new haunted house was born.As I said before the house is gone believed to have been burnt down by careless kids at play,it was home to a pack of dogs at the time and that may have been the nasty smell on everything.Sorry to all the ghost hunters,no ghost here.
