The ghost of James “Jim” King Anderson, who lived on the Whittaker Branch Farm that is now part of the campus property.

The Ghosts of High Ridge

2007-09-02T09:19:00.003-07:00

In Pioneers in Paradise, V. N. “Bud” Phillips recounts the legend of the ghosts of High Ridge at the end of Windsor Avenue in Bristol, Tennessee. From this high point, phantom crying can sometimes be heard. He credits the eerie noise to a story of a quiet family that moved into the area. After two of their children died, the eldest child would sit by their graves and cry, until she, too, died. The parents left their house with all of the furniture, never to be heard from again. But it seems the eldest girl can still be heard.

The Ghost of DeFriece Park

2007-09-02T09:19:00.001-07:00

In Pioneers in Paradise, V. N. “Bud” Phillips tells about the screaming lake at DeFriece Park at the intersection of Fifth and Stine Streets in Bristol, Tennessee. Allegedly, in 1876, 16 year-old Viola Kennett was ice-skating on the lake when the ice gave way and she drown in the frigid depths. Since then, on some old, winter nights, it is said you can still hear her screams coming from the lake.

The Ghost of the Bristol Train Station

2007-09-02T09:18:00.000-07:00

The book Pioneers in Paradise by V. N. “Bud” Phillips might explain why so many people believe that the old Bristol Train Station on State Street in Bristol, Tennessee is haunted. Apparently, Joseph Chalmers King, grandson of Reverend James King for whom King College is named after, fell in love with a girl. She was too young to marry him, and her family moved to California. Lovesick, he turned to drinking and would sway into the old train station for every southwestern train coming in just to see if his beloved was onboard; she never was. Joseph died at his sister’s house on 1880 and continued to appear in the form of a ghost when southwestern trains would stop at the depot. Only those who knew him in life knew they had seen a ghost in those days. When the newer train station was built in 1902, he still made appearances for southwestern trains, but over the years his appearance was more pronounced and out of place. He appeared wearing black pants, a white shirt, bow tie and a derby hat. Bud Phillips declares the last time this specter was seen was when the last train pulled into the station in 1969.

The Ghost of the Linville Cabin

2007-09-02T09:17:00.000-07:00

The old storage building, the Linville Cabin near the Appalachian Caverns in Blountville, Tennessee was the inspiration for the book title, The Marble and Other Ghost Tales of Tennessee and Virginia by Joe Tennis. The author writes that the house was probably built in 1777 and was a private residence until 2005. Afterwards, some people reported seeing a shadowy figure walking about the house by candlelight. But, Joe Tennis and many others believe there is another ghost there, one of a little boy wearing dated clothes who likes to play with period marbles. The boy is said to be present when what sounds like a marble rolls across the floor.
