Cumming, to be exact. But, the spot is now part of a strip mall and no longer exists. *Sniff* I'm originally from South Charleston and have been living in Georgia for 15 years.Coal Miner's Granddaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320077738770745217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974479864897892693.post-82173886905929116832009-01-26T00:33:00.000-05:002009-01-26T00:33:00.000-05:00Hey!

Anyway, this occured in Holden, WV on #22 Mine Road. If you go to this certain spot (it's on an UPHILL incline) and put your car in neutral...IT WILL PULL UP HILL. SWEAR TO GOD...IT'S THE TRUTH. If you want to research this just type in Mamie Thurman or #22 Mine Road in your yahoo search engine and you will get TONS of links to people testifying to this. It's really creepy. I found this blog by accident while searching for something else and just thought I would tell you about this 'cause you might be interested. PS. i am a 30 something living in Southern WV, too. What part of WV are you from? Just curious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974479864897892693.post-42426109881990776632008-07-21T21:38:00.000-04:002008-07-21T21:38:00.000-04:00Donna - Hee hee!Donna - Hee hee!Coal Miner's Granddaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14320077738770745217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974479864897892693.post-43267586057842818132008-07-20T22:23:00.000-04:002008-07-20T22:23:00.000-04:00I love strange and creepy things ... until it gets...I love strange and creepy things ... until it gets dark out *shiver*Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00649180384606048863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974479864897892693.post-5064078856130162862008-07-18T21:42:00.000-04:002008-07-18T21:42:00.000-04:00Bucky - I remember that book!

My favorite story was the one of the skeleton hand at the base of a tree and the hand would make the tree branches scratch at the house window. SPOOKY!<BR/><BR/>Employee #3699 - It is.

And... oh, I give up.<BR/><BR/>RiverPoet - Hubby and I understand each other!<BR/><BR/>NATUI - Don't encourage Avitable! Don't feed him, either! And Chip? I would love to take him to Flatwoods and have him "read" the witnesses. It would be fascinating!<BR/><BR/>A Free Man - Hey, we know how to do the monster up right!<BR/><BR/>Molly's Mom - OK, I was going to prove you wrong. I looked in my paranormal America book, looked up Michigan, convinced I would find <B>something</B> cool about Michigan. Um, no. Sorry, hon.<BR/><BR/>OK, Where Was I? - Right there with you, hon!

The name of it is "Appalachian Ghost Stories and Other Tales". Relatively cheap on Amazon.com<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/Appalachian-Ghost-Stories-Other-Tales/dp/0870122037<BR/><BR/>Like I said, I have lent the book out to several people and all have enjoyed it. Most of the stories are local to a handful of counties in West Virginia. I highly recommend that you read it.Buckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02207688375895314933noreply@blogger.com
