Smoky Mountain Ghosts The Valley Voice

This one comes from Waldens' Creek. As told to the VOICE by Mr. J.K., lifelong resident of the area. " There was an old woman down on waldens' Creek, her name was G.S. Everyone said she was a witch so me and my sister decided to find out for ourselves. We seen her going into a small barn. We followed her in and was going to ask her if she was really a witch. Well buddy, dont you know that we looked all around in that barn and she was gone! Tar wasnt but one wa in or out, We ran as fast as we could all the way home" Laughs J.K.

One Mrs. J.A. Wears Valley resident tells of a ghostly encounter at the Wonderland Hotel located off Lyon Springs Rd in Wears Valley. " Well my husband and I went there on our honeymoon many years ago. It was a moonlit night and the room was fairly lit up. I awoke in the middle of the night and there was something blocking the moonlight from coming thry the window. We also saw a figure of a man standing in the doorway of the room. We were too scared to move, and then it was all over." "Ive nevertold anyone that story in my life" says J.A. NOTE: This particular hotel is located off Lyon Springs road in Sevier County Tennessee, and is a spooky place. As of this writing it would appear that the empty hotel might be reopened look to the VALLEY VOICE for updates
