Hello my friend Donnie Law. In Native American culture, our Story Tellers are held in high regard. They tell the story so they are not forgotten. The stories are what keeps our culture alive, and they honor those who have taken the Journey before us. You are a great storyteller Donnie, and this I tell you from my heart. You are an honor to the people of the Appalachians. Blessings my friend, George
That was beautiful to say Donnie. I happen to have Native American Indian blood on my Father's side. His Grand Mother (his Mother's Mother) was Full Blood Native American. Yes, my Great, Grand Mother was Full Blooded Native American. I couldn't be more proud of anything else in my whole life than to know that. I keep her way, deep down in my Heart, always. I wish I could have been alive to know her and be part of her physical life. I wish the White man hadn't come along and change what my future should have been had they not come and "ruin" it for future Generations of Native Americans.
George, thanks for keeping our culture alive. I'm Eastern Band Cherokee on my mother's side. I look quite European. Our names were changed, and we accepted it. Will Rogers was a Cherokee from the Trail of Tears, born in Oklahoma, as was my second cousin. Be blessed, my brother.
My town is one of the oldest settlements in NC. Sherman came through here because of the numerous textile plants in the county that had converted to making uniforms for the confederate army during the time and the nearby river was a source of transporting goods from Charleston up into the Carolina for the south. There are a couple of old haunted historic houses in the county that date back to the late 1700's and early 1800's. One of these still has bullet holes preserved from a battle that occurred on the grounds. One particular house in town is said to be haunted by a confederate soldier who was brought to the house for medical attention as this was a doctors house at the time. Well the soldier died from his injuries in one of the upstairs bedrooms. As years went on, the house was restored and listed on the National registry of historic places. Just prior to that though it was used by a local bank. Workers in the bank would often hear footsteps upstairs and catch a glimpse of a man walking at the top floor balcony. They couldn't keep help because of fearful workers. When the bank closed the city bought the place and restored it. I had a friend who wasn't from here who lived here for a spell back in the 1990's. He took a job working for the local paper. He joined the historical society and they allowed him to live in the house as a grounds keeper and he would be required to watch the place. One day he told me at a party I attended that he had seen the old soldier many times walking the hall upstairs and out on the balcony. He managed to snap a photo of the apparition that looked like a hazy mist in the hall one evening. He posted it and the story in the local paper and it got allot of attention. To this day, that house is said to be haunted and it has 24 hour video security now and a grounds keeper that lives in a mobile trailer on the back of the property. I've heard stories that the cameras and motion sensors will occasionally go off and send an alarm to the police who never find anything wen they get there. There is allot of spooks and ghouls out there in these small southern towns. Lots of history too. Thank you again Donnie for such a wonderful old story.
Potter came through burnt the mill,second oldest in NC,somehow missed plantation home on the hill,Stonewall Manor,after the Stonewall in the front yard.Battle plantation at that time!
So interesting. I had 2 g-g- grandfathers who were NC confederate soldiers. They were both wounded at Gettysburg but one was captured by the Union Army and released at the end of the war.
Your narration really captures the tragedy of this story. Those poor little boys just wanted to go on an adventure and should not have been subjected to such senseless violence. War is such a sad waste. I wonder where we would be as a society if we could have embraced peace and kindness to all instead of greed and violence. There is much to be learned from these ghost tales. The deceased have much to teach us. Thank you so much. ❤️
Mr. Law, that was a fantastic, but sad story. My husband and I visited a battlefield in Gettysburg. There was an extreme sadness that washed over us. What bothered me is my husband, who never is effected, was almost in tears. We had to leave and never went back to that field.
The energy still hangs there believe me. Had an encounter with a Marine buddy with me years ago I will never forget. Another thing, I don’t remember which shop it was in town but it was like an antique store next to a diner. Anyway, I wandered into the basement section and even tho it was just me I couldn’t shake the feeling of being watched. It wasn’t a good feeling either more of a get out type vibe. I started to feel very cloudy headed almost sick feeling and decided to take the cue and leave. I learned later on that some people more sensitive to these things have trouble there too
There is a lot of emotion from the past still at these battlefields especially Gettysburg. My Great Great Grandfather and Uncles fought with the 28th Virginia Infantry under Garnett and were captured at Pickett's charge at the wall. Walking that ground is powerful and knowing what both sides went through is deeply humbling. Are there imprints left behind to haunt us of that war? You better believe it.
I'm the team manager with Virginia Paranormal Investigations. Our area has hosted both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, so we have heard a lot of these types of stories. It's sad that so many young men were killed in these battles though. Maybe one day that boy's soul will find peace. Thanks for sharing the story, and I look forward to seeing more.
Donnie I just love your history stories. I am jealous that you are able to go out into the wild and search out this history. God love you and keep em comin. Hope you don't mind but I share them with others.
What an awesome story. Please tell more. My husband came from Wooten Ky. It's about 19 miles from Hazard. And he used to tell me and the kids stories like this all the time. I visited down there with him a number of times, and it truly was just like walking back in time about 40 yrs. I loved listening to all the stories. Funny ones as well as scary ones. Please tell more.😊
Donnie that was a heartbreaking story of the young Civil War Soldier that never made it home,but many young men never made it back to family,so sad. My Great Great Great Grandpaw fought in the Civil War and he made it home to live several years. Thanks Friend and God Bless 🙂.
A great story Donnie. Man you sure can tell a story. I've said it before and I'll say it again. You're not only preserving history but you're also preserving folklore. Good job sir and I look forward to the next story. God bless.
Very cool story Donnie! There is a similar story here in Georgia concerning a bridge and a returning soldier. (The road is still used and got a new bridge, but they say you can see him by the remains of the old one!) Putting it in East Tennessee however gives it a twist. Many folks these days don't know that Tennessee was a true border state. As such, even though it seceded from the Union, over 31,000 such boys went to the Union side instead of the Confederacy! The majority of these Union boys came from the Eastern Tennessee region, so there were literally neighbors who could have had sons who went entirely different ways. I wonder perhaps if the Union soldiers who killed this poor lad were actually from the area! I wonder what they thought when they found that it was an old friend or did they never even look? Just another Reb to get rid of! Gives this old ghost story a whole new meaning doesn't it!
The story about the Boy in Grey really touched my heart. Thousands of people died just like that back then, their names forgotten. It is still happening today with all the dope and stuff. Their names will be forgotten also 😔 😢. I liked your stories and you have a great voice for telling them 😀.
So many lives lost because of war, as if life isn't heartbreaking and hard enough back in those days. Thank you .Mr. Laws for bringing us this story of a young man and his new found dog friend. I'm certain his family and his girl were so very heartbroken.. God bless.
Wow, that poor soldier boy. I probably wouldn't know no better and offer him a ride home. Tell us another ghost story for Halloween! I really like the way you tell the stories.
Thank you for your story Mr. Donnie. I always look forward to these spooky stories. This one is particularly sad. Let us not forget war is a hell we do not need to partake in. 💗
Once again thank you so much Mr. Donnie for this sad but great story. Yes I agree that so much of our history and stories are being lost. We have to try our best to keep them alive. Take care and have a blessed evening. ❤️🍀 Blessings, Teresa
I love your stories Donnie, even these sad ones and always the paranormal ones. The history is priceless and the photographs are beautiful. Thank you so much.
My mom and all her people were from Appalachia (Pensilvania and West Virginia) and I live in NC now- but I long to move to Boone, NC. Anyhow, I just want to thank you for all your videos as they help me feel close to them. Have a great week Donnie!
I lived in Boone. Move farther out. Deep Gap is great. The college ruined that little mountain town. It was formerly part of the State of Franklin. Linville has many Franklin families, who claim kinship with Ben.
Wow you are the perfect narrator and your videos capture the attention of viewers and keep us spellbound!! Thank you again for your unsurpassed knowledge and kindness in your voice. Take care my friend and God bless you and your family ❤
A very sad story. The saddest part is that a person's hope and happiness can be senselessly dashed in the blink of an eye. There are several lessons to be learned here. I thank you for sharing this tragic story but thought provoking story. Blessings to all.
@@donnielaws7020 That is the absolute and unvarnished truth. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. One of the things I like best about a good many of your videos is that they make a person think, provide a lesson to be learned and such. Real good stuff and I thank you for your efforts.
Life is totally random. When we make a decision to do something or go somewhere there's no way of knowing what the consequences might be. We just have be careful and stay alert.
That's a sad story but probably happened to a lot of people. We will never know all the stories. Thank you Mr. Donnie. I always look forward to your posts. I could listen to you all day. I've already been back and watched most of your videos. I love Appalachia. It's a world all its own and so beautiful, but dangerous at the same time. We are in NC.
Awesome story Donnie, absolutely love your narration and the illustrations you added to help tell the tale. A very sad story indeed, like you said so many incidents like this happened, a young soldiers life ends abruptly and violently, causing a restless soul. Great work, I very much enjoy your videos👍🏼😁🇺🇸
Hey Donnie Tommy from Jonesboro love the civil war stories but most of all I like ghost stories that's why I love living in Jonesboro it's one of the most haunted towns in TN great video and god bless my friend
I grew up in ky, but vacations in Gatlinburg growing up, now I've moved here 3yrs ago. I love hearing the history of my neighbors. Thank you for making these videos, it may end up being the only record of things.
I just love learning about all the History u have to share with us what a sad time it was then and all the folks that died during that time .....but I do love Ghost Stories 👻👻 thank you Mr. Donnie for sharing them 🖤🖤
That’s a sad story Donnie. I agree with you, all wars are senseless. Oh it’s all about the rich man getting richer that’s all it boils down to at the end of the day. God bless🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Another great video, Donnie. Some ghost stories are clearly made up to tell around the campfire, others come from really credible people. Who can say what is and isn't? I found your video interesting, keep them coming!
Thanks for sharing a very well done video. There are so many untold stories and the loss of so many lives that we will never know about in this great country. From your friend from Wyoming USA keep up your amazing stories and the format you present it.
Love listening to your stories and memories. Thank you beyond words, Donnie, for your work to see that we keep this important part of our history in an oral form. God bless you.
I truly appreciate your channel! I ❤ stories like the ones you tell from the old folks that were raised in the mountains of Appalachia and the legends that reside there. I could listen all day to you tell these stories! Thank you for sharing them with us!
A sad story but I'm sure it's repeated in different places with different people. Appreciate the story telling, you really put us in there like we're watching it.
Another great story telling video like always Mr Donnie. Hope you getting out in about metal hunting with the cooler weather to back the snakes and other critters off some. Been alittle warmer few days here in VA. Appreciate ya again
Hello from KY love you and your channel ❤️.I loved your telling of the ghost story.You need to have a fire and charge admission for ghost telling stories.seriously.😬.I have been praying for rain for your critters and ours and we might just get a little today.stay safe.❤️
Donnie, I really did enjoy this one. I am crying. How tragic. We see what we need to see...everyday I see, feel and smell and hear my dog Spooner J.T. Comstock. This story touched me to the core! Thank you.
As is usual with ghost stories, it's a sad tale. If I was that boy's mom, I would have kept him home one way or the other, and would have been heartbroken if he left for the war anyhow. You tell a great "fireside" story, just right for this time of year. 🎃
Mr. Donnie...you done gone and made me squall like a youngun...I guess this old tender country heart just don't deal with family sadness like this. He was just a baby in today's standards and I guess my heart breaks for all of them. Thanks for keeping our family histories alive for in one way or another we are all family and all your history affects all of us. Thank you.
Had to check out Another one,Donnie. This tale is Amazing. Tragic and very very sad our young men. I just wish we could All have Peace. Pipe dream i know but All our families and their future families deserve a chance to Live, thrive and be happy and safe. Amen.
Donnie Laws You are a great story teller. Lived here in east tennessee all my life and most of your stories are here or in the appalacians which really interests me.
I've been to your wonderful channel before but this time it's because Night Terrors reminded me. I'm from Knoxville and love the mountains, I miss the Smokies so much, nothing close out here in California. Happy October! 🎃
When they mention the great mountain story tellers they got to start to mention Mr.Donnie Laws..you sir are awsome!!!Crazy how they faught in the civil war…men back then were just built differently..men today are too soft!!Great videos Mr Donnie!!!Keep em coming!!!

Another great video, Donnie. Some ghost stories are clearly made up to tell around the campfire, others come from really credible people. Who can say what is and isn't? I found your video interesting, keep them coming!
Thank you friend. Thanks for sharing this. God bless you.

As is usual with ghost stories, it's a sad tale. If I was that boy's mom, I would have kept him home one way or the other, and would have been heartbroken if he left for the war anyhow.
You tell a great "fireside" story, just right for this time of year. 🎃
