Surgoinsville has a history of paranormal activity, according to folklore and local tales. Reports have included sightings of a female spirit, thought to be the ghost of a previous tenant, who can sometimes be heard wearing high heels and clomping upstairs. The building once housed a Justice of the Peace, where civil matters were conducted. It also served as a temporary morgue, sometimes holding bodies until burial, as the store sold funeral supplies. The current owners, Johnny and Teresa Greer, have converted the space into a bluegrass auditorium and stage. The building still features Teresa Greer's large antique collection, which is available for browsing and purchase.
