An excerpt from the 1881 Travel Book ‘In the Heart of the Alleghanies,’ this article presents a true ghost story of the Smoky Mountains that centers around a mid-1800s mill on the Cheowah River. A number of people died there, prompting the mills close down and subsequent rumors that it was haunted.
