Roan Mountain, along the border of Tennessee and North Carolina, rises to 6,285 feet long its five cloud-capped peaks. There are numerous legends of the supernatural associated with the mountain, the most prevalent being the ghost choir. Since the early 1800s, people have heard etherial singing in the higher elevations, sometimes described as heavenly music and sometimes as demonic shrieking. People who live in mountainous areas know that a combination of strong wind, rocks, trees, and open spaces can produce natural music, and with a dose of imagination, it can sound like a ghost choir. But that's far from the only ghostly legend about Roan Mountain.
If the choir really is ghosts, then they would apparently not be alone on Roan Mountain, as there are other tales of spectral residents as well. One of these stories revolves around a decrepit cemetery along a place called Dark Hollow Road, right up against Roan Mountain. The cemetery is small and unkempt, the majority of its graves overgrown, unmarked, and occupied by the unknown bodies of the forgotten, but one that is known is the grave of a man named Jankins. The story goes that sometime in around the turn of the century Jankins was having a rather torrid affair with a local woman named Delinda, who was known for sleeping around with pretty much anything that moved.
According to the legend, Jankins was killed one day after being shot, some say by his jealous wife who had uncovered the affair, and right after he was buried at the cemetery Delinda disappeared without a trace. Rumors spread that she had actually been in love with Jankins and had crawled into his coffin to be with him, allowing herself to be buried alive in order to stay with her lover even in death. Whether this is true or not, it has been reported ever since that cars that drive by or park here will be rocked or bumped by an unseen force, said to be the restless spirit of Delinda.
