The Story
Grancer Harrison's legend follows a dancer beyond the grave. Tradition says he arranged to be buried with his favorite clothes, dancing shoes and bed in an unusually large above-ground tomb. After his death, people supposedly continued hearing fiddle music, dancing steps and a voice calling square dances near the burial place. The colorful details belong to Alabama folklore and should not be mistaken for a modern performance or guaranteed experience.
