Ghost Haunts Revisited James Bates

I grew up in the Appalachian Mountains from 1929 until present. I've been in other countries and states, but the hills get in your soul and this is home. Although it is not the same now, growing up in the mountains was not easy. In most ways it was isolated from the rest of the world. One form of entertainment was old wives tales and ghost stories. These stories were told, retold and handed down from generation to generation. They are steeped in customs and habits of the people who grew up in these mountains. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I enjoy telling them.
