There are many documented ghost stories in Douglas County, GA. One common story involves an old plantation house where people claim to see the apparition of a former slave. It's said that she wanders the halls as if still looking for freedom. Some have heard her soft sobbing at night.
There was a restaurant that got audited for sales tax. They were used to a simple way of calculating sales tax based on their total sales. But the auditor dug deeper and found that they were not charging sales tax correctly on some add - on items like special sauces or premium toppings. This led to a long and drawn - out audit process. They had to pay back taxes, and it also damaged their reputation a bit as customers heard about the audit and were worried about the restaurant's financial stability.
One common problem is incorrect classification of items for sales tax. For example, a business might think a product is tax - exempt when it's not. Another is miscalculation of sales tax amounts, which can happen due to errors in accounting software or human error. Also, not keeping proper records can be a big issue. If a business can't show clear records of sales and the associated tax calculations, it can lead to big problems during an audit.
One well - known story is of the haunted bridge. It's said that if you cross it at midnight, you might see a strange figure. Some believe it's the spirit of a person who died in a carriage accident on that bridge long ago. Just the thought of it gives people chills.
