I'm not one to jump the gun and believe everything I read on the internet, but I found some ghost stories about a little town called Avilla, with an estimated population of 122. I quickly found out that there are legends about a civil war spirit (or perhaps something far worse), various shadow figures, random stenches as if something had died, and something called a Death Tree. But first, I had to look into what we know to be true, especially since these myths seem to stem from the town's history.
