GHOSTS
OF THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS
The Great Smoky
Mountains form the border between eastern Tennessee and western
North Carolina. As well as sharing these mountains, these states
also share a wealth of legends, folklore, and handed down tales
concerning “other-worldly” beings. These mountains have
witnessed early explorers facing death at the harsh hand of nature,
vicious battles between settlers and hostile Indians, major clashes
during the Civil War, and misunderstandings between revenuers and
moonshiners. Many of the people involved in these actions died,
but their spirits remain. Every little nook and cranny throughout
these mountains seems to have some type of ghost story to tell.
