 Local legend insists that "the hole that won't stay filled" never vanished—even after being filled in numerous times during the years that followed.Though covered in 1979 by a new bridge and tons of rip-rap, "Sketoe's hole" remains a local attraction, and was documented by Alabama writer Kathryn Tucker Windham in her 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey.A monument to Sketoe was dedicated near the hanging site in 2006, and the local museum displays items of Sketoe memorabilia.
