Today’s story comes from a listener, who remembered the bare bones of this tale but not the entire story. We’ve taken that “ghost” of a story (about a ghost) and put together the tale you’ll hear in this episode.
It’s the story of the mysterious ghost rider of southwest Virginia, another tale from Appalachia.

The Civil War came to East Tennessee in the form of Confederate raids against the mostly Union sympathizers who lived there. Today’s tale recounts a story told about one such raid which cost the life of a resident of Carter’s Valley.
His spirit demanded justice and got it…through his hand, brutally severed from his body by the Rebel raiders.
Today we tell that tale.
