There's a story of a witch who was drowned in the Nolichucky River centuries ago. Her ghost is said to come out during a full moon. She casts a shadow over the water, and if you look closely, you can see her face in the ripples. People who have seen it say it's terrifying because she seems to be cursing the area.

The sense of being haunted by the past is a very scary element. In the mining accident story, the fact that the miners' apparitions are still there, years after the accident, gives a feeling of a past tragedy that won't go away. It's as if the river holds onto their memories and their suffering.
There's a story of a long - ago mining accident near the Yuba River. Miners were trapped underground. Years later, people claim to see the apparitions of those miners along the river.

Some say that if you listen closely at night, you can hear the faint sounds of their pickaxes hitting the rocks.
The story of the phantom canoeist is also quite famous among Ocoee River ghost stories. It is said that a Native American brave was canoeing on the river long ago.

It's a story that adds to the eerie reputation of the Ocoee River.
One of the Ocoee River ghost stories is about a lost hiker. Legend has it that he got separated from his group and was never found alive.

Another story involves a ghostly figure of a fisherman. Supposedly, he was a fisherman who drowned in the Brazos River while trying to catch a huge fish. Now, on moonlit nights, fishermen sometimes claim to see his shadowy figure still trying to reel in that big catch, and his sad moans can be faintly heard across the water.
