Description
You may have thought hiking the woods with the bears, coyotes, snakes, and the occasional creepy deer hunter lurking in the shadows was scary enough. Well, I am going to tell you some stories that will make it a whole lot more frightening-In the early years where Maryland's Green Ridge State Forest is located, there was a tiny village called Green Ridge Station, made up of mostly lockkeepers for the C&O Canal. Those living there had little contact with the outside world until the Western Maryland Railroad paved a path with bridges and tunnels. Sometime during the years that the trains barreled through the area, a hobo was killed, buried, and covered with sticks within the tunnel at Green Ridge Station. The tunnel was dubbed Stickpile Tunnel, and the hobo's ghost rises from the dead within-The legend of Stickpile Tunnel, the hike to it, and more haunted hiking trail with their ghost stories can be found in this book along with directions, guides, and maps: The Mysterious Brown Mountain LightsSideling Tunnel Abandoned Pennsylvania TurnpikeThe Choir of the Dead of Roan MountainThe Little People of Hickory Nut Gorge The Devil's Courthouse and Tennessee Bald Great Smoky Mountains National Park Noland Creek Trail Ghost Town at Shenandoah National Park-Upper Pocosin MissGeorge Washington & Jefferson National Forests Red Fox Trail to The Killing Rock Cumberland Gap National Historical Park-The Dead Soldier in Gap CavePine Mountain State Resort Park Chained Rock Trail Mammoth Cave The Old Haunted CavePaw Paw Tunnel Headless HauntGreat Falls-Goldmine Trail Goldmine GhoulThe Red-headed Man of Dorsey's KnobTwin Falls State Park That Thing up in Poke HollerNew River Gorge National Park McKinley Rock at The Rend TrailA Haunted Hike through Harpers FerryLake Hope State Park, The Night WatchmanHaunted Battlefield Farms at GettysburgCome take a hike with folklorist and ghost story writer Jannette Quackenbush and see the scary side of Appalachia.
