That's very interesting! I wish you could remember where exactly in Kentucky you went, because that sounds an incredible lot like where my great uncle lives. He talks about freaky stuff happening there all the time...seeing a man in a business suit and a briefcase running back into the woods (I mean, this place is so far back in the sticks that the sun doesn't shine there until summer LOL) and never coming back out...stepping into another "dimension" he says, and seeing a woman in pioneer-type clothing hanging clothes out on the line, where he knows there isn't a house. All kinds of weird things, and that's not even counting some of my great-grandpa's stories, about a man fighting the devil (yep, THE devil). I'm so excited now, I can't wait to get these down! My great-aunt is sending me a video of my great-grandpa telling some of his old stories that I can use to help. I'm considering writing them down exactly like he says them, slang and all, but then I also thought that a lot of people wouldn't be able to understand it...ever read "As I Lay Dying" by Faulkner? Same principle I think. And I'll definitely have to start digging more into my Kentucky history/legends..I'll bet there are all kinds of places!! LOL I get excited easily, can you tell? But seriously, it could be a whole book, scary stories and legends of Kentucky! LOL I must start researching! LOL
