The people who own Charcoal's are blaming a ghost for bad business

At the time of her death, Smith was 65 years old. Smith was killed in a hit and run accident by a drunk driver. She was walking on the corner of Jackson and Magazine streets one night. Her body laid in the street for five days. Neighbors said she bled out into the street. Authorities ignored her body because it was their priority to tend to the living first in the aftermath of the storm. Neighbors decided to make a makeshift grave memorial for her because she was well-known in the community. The makeshift memorial sat on this property until Charcoal’s was built in 2012.

“Our brand new meat grinder went out the first week we opened,” he said.

Other mishaps include: broken waterlines, vandalism, and fighting with the city to open their doors.
