Mountains dot the landscape of this famed

North Carolina county, so do the spirits of the residents who have long since passed.

Hickory Ridge Museum one cabin fills with the scent of pipe tobacco jus before its otherworldl resident appears, and th

ghost of a hanged Tory captain rides his steed along Riddle's Kno every misty midnight. From the story of the haunted spring net the Watauga River frequented by the ghost of a headless dog to th distant buzz of a phantom airplane flying high above Howard's Kn mountain in Boone, these tales are bound to chill even the brave of readers. Noted journalist Tim Bullard delves into the eerie past Watauga County as he recounts the stories of the souls doomed forever roam the pine-covered hills.
