Fries, Virginia Ghost Tales Along the stair that lead from main street to top street there are reports of the sound of a crying child late at night. A few years ago there was a new house being built near the stairs and a child skeleton was found wrapped in a military jacket since that time the crying has stopped. Submitted by sandy The old Theater in Fries is also haunted. There once was a movie theater at that location. One night a young woman meet her secret boyfriend there to take in a movie.  What she did not know was that her main boyfriend had heard that she was cheating and had followed them to the theater. As the young woman and man were leaving the theater he confronted them just inside the door. An argument ensued and the boyfriend drew a gun and shot and killed the young girl dead. Now you can feel her presence in the theater and often hear foot step and a cold feeling near the old counter. I have been here several times as a teen and it is true that there is a cold spot there even in the summer heat. Submitted by sandy The story goes that       a group of young people decided to go horse back riding along the railroad tracks now known as the New River trail. They were planning on attending there prom either that day or in a few days. Somewhere along the tracks (which run parallel to the main road) a car past and spooked the girls horse and it threw her from the horse. The girl was taken to   Twin County Regional and pronounced dead. When her family returned home he father took a rifle to the barn and shot the horse. The girl was buried in her prom gown and the horse was buried the same day. Later on the local sheriff and the owner of a local restaurant were standing outside the corner restaurant on main street when they saw someone riding down the tracks when they looked to see who it could be so late at night they realized it was the young girl who had died and she stopped and looked at them then vanished. There are two version one that says she was in her prom gown another that she was still wearing the clothes she had on when she died. When asked about this sighting both men refused to comment but would not deny the story either.
