Standing broom has folks strawstruck

It seems that the broom likes one spot on the store floor. People have moved it to other areas, and it hasn’t stayed upright. Tuesday during an interview with the Montgomery Advertiser, a photographer moved the broom and was able to make it stand several feet away. It was quickly returned to its favorite spot, where Christy Burdett plopped it down and there it stuck.

“The guy from the photography shop came by when everybody started talking about the broom,” Christy Burdett said. “He said he didn’t want to tell us this when we moved in, but he had a broom that would stand up. He never told his partner because she was scared of ghosts.”
