I grew up in Yukon #2 in McDowell County. You go across the train tracks and into the bottom, turn left across the bridge, then turn right at the church and keep going straight all the way out into the hollow. My grandparents bought the whole place back in the 60s. The people they bought it from claimed the whole hollow was haunted. Said you could hear horses snort and whinny and feel breathing on the back of your neck. My grandparents told me many tales about what they experienced there, but this is one of my own. Out in that holler was my grandparents home, my aunts, another home of a different aunt and up on the hill was the house where I grew up in. My dad, grandpa and uncle built it. Across from it (across a creek) was a log cabin, but it burned down when I was eight. My grandpa had a street lamp down where we parked the cars, but our house and yard were a long ways away from its light. It was pitch black in our yard at the time. I was about 17 and I was up very late one night on the computer. Our computer desk was right beside the front door. The door was a sliding glass door, and if youd look out of it, youd see our huge porch, and beyond that nothing but inky blackness. My parents were asleep, and I was surfing the internet when I heard a man shouting. I couldnt make out the words, but the tone was loud and urgent as if he needed help. The television was off, and I stopped and strained my ears and heard it a few more times. This time after every shout the loud sound of a horse stomping and whinnying could be heard as well. The sounds were coming right from my front yard, just beyond the porch. I looked out the glass door but could see nothing but the night. I opened it and stepped out. I heard the shout and the whinnying again right in front of me in the yard, I even felt a slight vibration as the horse stomped the ground. I reached inside to cut the porch light on and there was NOTHING. There was nothing out there at all. I never heard the sound again, but my whole life my grandparents told me what the people they bought that hollow from said. I believe I experienced whatever they did.
