The Bridge on Mill Creek Road off of Highway 36/Temple Hill Road is said to be haunted by the spirit of a Confederate soldier on horseback.In Wood-smoke Tales, author Roxie A. Masters explains that Mr. Graham was a Confederate sympathizer during the Civil War and allowed the soldiers to camp on his property. This caught the attention of Colonel Kirk, who began spying on the encampment from the bluff that is behind what is now Shallow Ford Baptist Church. One night, he saw a lot of activity so the next morning, cloaked in fog, his troops attacked the Confederates. Ever since then, there have been reports of a ghost horseman carrying his sword that crosses over the bridge.
