I remember where it was pretty clearly actually. It was just outside of Middlesboro, about an hour or 2 north of Knoxville TN. Middlesboro sits right on the edge of KY, TN and VA. We went and took pics from a cliffside that overlooks all 3 states. Its near the Cumberland Gap. Lots of beautiful country and forests and tons of small towns with ghost stories galor. (way too country for me tho, I'm more of a city boy - heh). We had gone 4-wheeling the day that he showed me the old ghost town. Its up in some foothills. Where we were it was like a donut shape around the place and you could look down into the trees and see some of the old cabins. The most visible structure was something like an old wooden water tower, or maybe just a look-out tower or something similar. I'm pretty sure I took pics of it, if I can remember where they are. The whole place just exuded creepiness, even in the middle of a sunny early spring day. I've always been sensitive to places like that anyway tho, ever since I was a kid. I tend to pick up on negative vibes in the air and can usually sense if something really bad has happened in a place that I'm in. It depends a lot on how much i'm paying attention tho and doesn't happen very often. But I have some of my own freaky stories about places I've been, from first-hand experience. 8-) ~E.D.
