Ghostly Prints, Happenings At Old Oak Square Blamed On ‘Stretch’

Boot prints beat a path frozen in concrete inside the Edie Irons Gallery at Old Oak Square.

They begin near the north side of the room and walk straight into the opposite wall.

The thing is, no one knows who put them there.

Legend has it that during remodeling of the square about 10 years ago, those pouring the concrete couldn’t pour a smooth slab — because someone kept leaving footprints.

Not once or twice but three times the concrete was smoothed over, only to have the footprints reappear.

“Anytime anything happened, nobody could explain. We blamed it on ‘Stretch,’ our resident ghost,” said Malta Seaton, a former longtime employee of the Foxworth-Galbraith lumber yard, which once was on Main Street.
