We have written a few articles about Elkmont in the past. At one time, Elkmont, a historic area in Tennessee, was a bustling logging community. Today, it sits in ruins as a ghost town within the Great Smoky National Park.
Legend says that one person, who once called this place home, now walks the landscape carrying his lantern through the darkened woods. The man is named Tom, who worked as a logger there many years ago, before tragically losing his life in a logging accident.
His ghost is said to have never left, and visitors have reported seeing a flickering light from his lantern, guiding them through the abandoned town after dusk.
