Ahoy there, mateys! Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day! This holiday, celebrated every Sept. 19,  began as a joke between friends John Baur and Mark Summers during a racquetball game in 1995 and has since grown to international recognition thanks to a column by humorist Dave Barry in 2002 and the viral effect of mentions online.

The official "Talk Like a Pirate Day" website, www.talklikeapirate.com, is a treasure chest full of golden nuggets of pirate wisdom, frequently asked questions about pirates (including "Is it 'Arrrrrrr,' 'Yarrrrr,' 'Yarrrrgh' or what?" and "What does 'savvy' mean?) and a list of pirate-themed parties around the planet held in honor of this day.

The legend of Cry Baby Hollow in Decatur/Hartselle varies depending on whom you ask, but a popular version of the story goes like this: In the 1800s a horse-drawn wagon was crossing the bridge when a wheel snapped. The wagon overturned and ejected an infant into the creek, where it drowned. It is said that if you go to the bridge at night you can hear the sound of a baby crying off in the distance and even the sobbing of the mother. It is also believed that If you leave a candybar on the bridge and return later, a bite will be taken out of it. 

Other versions claim that a woman was driving over this narrow bridge and wrecked. She lived, but the baby in her car died. Again, if you leave a candybar, a bite will be taken from it.
