Haunted Kingsport, Haunted America

From a devil cat to a Rebel ghost to the possible resting place of Big Foot—the Kingsport/Johnson City/Bristol region gives up its supernatural secrets.

Summon the necessary courage and dare to explore the haunted history of the “mountain empire.” Tales of ghostly spirits envelop the northeast Tennessee landscape like a familiar mountain fog. Join Pete Dykes, editor of Kingsport’s Daily News, as he offers up a collection of spooky local stories and legends from centuries past, including such spine-chilling accounts as the foreboding ghost of Netherland Inn Road, spectral disturbances at the Rotherwood Mansion, devilish felines, ruthless poltergeists in Caney Creek Falls, the tortured cries from fallen Rebel soldiers still heard today and—could bigfoot really be buried in the woods of Big Stone Gap?
