One well - known ghost story is about a lost hiker. Legend has it that at night, his apparition can be seen wandering the trails, still looking for his way out. It's said he got lost decades ago and perished in the forest.
One possible type of ghost story could be related to the history of the land. Maybe there were Native American burial grounds in the area of Allegheny National Forest Route 666 that were disturbed during construction or development. This could have led to hauntings according to some superstitions. Another idea is that early settlers who faced hardships and died in the area now haunt the route. For example, if there were settlers who got lost in the forest and perished, their spirits might be said to still roam there.
I've heard that there's a story of a woman in white who haunts a particular stretch of the route. She's said to appear suddenly in front of cars at night.

Well, one common ghost story in Forest City, NC could be about an old abandoned house. People say that at night, you can see a faint light in the attic, as if someone is still living there. It's rumored that a long - time ago, a family disappeared mysteriously in that house.
It's hard to say for sure. Some people believe that there could be some sort of spiritual energy in places like Gundya forest that could lead to these kinds of stories. However, from a scientific perspective, there is no evidence to support the existence of ghosts in the forest. So it's more likely that they are just stories made up to either scare people or preserve the forest's mystique.
