Hauntings in Pisgah National Forest
The white settlers were becoming more and more prominent within these lands cutting off trails and hunting lands the Indians had used for centuries. In the 1800s the woodlands of these hills were still a hunter’s dream.
It was the day of the full moon on a chilly October morning when a local farmer living in the foothills of the Pisgah Mountain range gathered his hunting dogs and headed for the top of the ridge known as Pisgah Ledge.
It was well known for an abundance of wildlife. After a full day of running his dogs, he had nothing to show for his efforts and returned home empty-handed.
