GOON ROAD
"I'm just a ghost in this house
I'm shadow upon these walls,
As quietly as a mouse
I haunt these halls."
- Allison Krauss, Ghost in This House
Tale from Joe O.
"There is this road that's called Goon Road, because there was a family of goons who lived there that were supposed to be inbred and killed people a long time ago. Everybody says that its haunted now, so my brother and I went out there one night to look around. When we got there, he was telling me that a lot of people have been killed and disappeared in the woods and that the goons had these wild dogs that they used to chase down anybody who came on their land. I don't know it it's true or not, but when we heard a bunch of dogs barking out in the dark, we got the hell out of there!" -Joe O.
