Many years ago, a family of African-American’s lived in a cabin near Galax, Virginia. Reportedly, a black man was murdered within this cabin, and soon after, travelers along this road late at night could see a bright light moving around in the hollow. This area developed a reputation for being haunted. Other times, a little bell could be heard ringing and following them until they ventured out of the vicinity of the tragedy that had taken place there.
Men who lived in the community beyond this point would never go to Oldtown for anything at night, including an emergency visit with the local doctor, because it meant they would have to pass this haunted location.
