Haunted Hills

The author of Wicked Charlotte roots out the spirited secrets of two small towns deep in the Appalachian Mountains. When the sun slips behind the trees and shadows lengthen near dusk, the mountains and valleys of Highlands and Cashiers whisper their tales of lost loves, deals gone bad, and ghosts who walk the night. This tourist destination is rich in folklore and legend—from rumors of a magical mountain volcano to the ghost of a white owl. Learn the stories and firsthand accounts of hauntings and the hard to explain. Listen to the voices winding through the hemlocks, or is it just the wind? Includes photos!

Deep in the woods on top of a desolated hilltop, stood the most haunted cemetery ever known, called "Haunted Hills Cemetery." Legend has it, that in 1855, a man by the name of Jester Flats was the new Sheriff in town. One thing the townspeople had no idea about when Jester Flats was appointed the new Sheriff in the town of Deadsville was that the Sheriff had his idea of how he wanted to bring law and order to the town of Deadsville. His way would be, by way of an axe. He was the most feared Sheriff the town of Deadsville had ever known. According to the son of the sheriff, just after he was born, Jester's wife was caught in bed with another man in his own home. Jester happened to forget his axe that day and never left home without it, but this day would be a day he'd never forget. Jester noticed a horse was tied to a tree next to his house. Jester didn't like the looks of it, so he cautiously opened the front door of his house. Jester heard laughter coming from his upstairs bedroom. Jester took his axe out of the closet and went upstairs to investigate. Jester slowly opened the bedroom door and there lying on his bed was his wife and another man.
