If you mean as in Bigfoot or ghosts, I haven't seen those but I write about people who say they have. As far as roadside attractions, I've seen some seriously weird stuff. Last weekend, I saw tiny teddy bears (about 2 inches) made of belly button lint.

Whoa...deep. Actually, you are probably right. It is interesting to me how people are so fascinated with abandoned sites these days. Is it because they are spooky or because it is a sign of what we are wasting? Why the rise in Bigfoot sightings lately? Is it because he's more intelligent than our politicians?

I do not believe in ghosts but I believe in the possibility. I suspect if I ever saw one, I'd believe! Same for Bigfoot, etc. I am a journalist who strives for accuracy and truth so in my stories on the subject of legendary creatures or ghosts, I always use the phrase “according to legend.”

Yes. I love that. Email [email protected]

In Alabama, my favorite is the Lady in the Bay. She’s a huge sculpture at Barber’s Marina in Elberta. She was commissioned by businessman George Barber, who has a great sense of fun and who also owns Barber Motorsports Park and Museum in Birmingham, where he keeps the world’s largest collection of motorcycles. He’s also responsible for Alabama’s Stonehenge replica, located in the same area. The Lady in the Bay, which I think is currently in dry dock for restoration, is interesting because she is a giant head and knees sticking out of the water. She kinda looks like she’s giving birth. You can see her here. Of course, I also love the fictional town of Spectre, an abandoned movie set near Montgomery AL where Tim Burton filmed “Big Fish” and where I got married. As for weirdest, there are so many. For instance, I got to view a collection of item saved from old Bryce Hospital, such as old electric shock machines and straight jackets, and as mentioned below, I saw some tiny teddy bears made of belly button lint last weekend, which was pretty awesome. And also, a portable embalming machine
