On November 22nd 1915, the Col. T. Kennedy Show circus train collided with a Central Georgia passenger train. A fire broke out when the trains crashed into one another and six people were pronounced dead, dozens missing, and animals perished.
The death toll was never determined for sure of how many lives were lost in the accident. There is a mass grave and monument in Riverdale Cemetery in Columbus Georgia and there is a ghost story attached to the wreck site.
We visited Columbus researching the story and if you want to hear more about the accident, you will have to keep an eye out for Historic Haunts of the South IV.
