In this partof the world, the telling of such stories is an art to be fine-tuned. Gatheredfrom those who have lived in the foothills for generations, here are accounts ofgraveyard ghosts, mountain spirits, premonitions in the night, a hauntedcupboard, a runaway train, and a blood red stain. Included are stories of...
- A gnome-like creature that drove the Dunlaps from their house in Chatsworth, Georgia.
- William Stevenson, who appeared in a picture of his great-grandson's birthday party - thirteen years after William's death.
- A Confederate soldier who stopped at the Millers' home a few years ago looking for General Braxton Bragg.
