Ghost House Chimney, decorated for Christmas, in the winter snow. Riceville community, Near Asheville, NC. January 2022.
If you roam Appalachia, you'll probably see old stone chimneys like this one, where homes once stood. Whether destroyed by fire or demolished, the rest of the home is long-gone, but the fireplace and chimney remain, mostly undisturbed. Appalachian legend held that, if a house burned down or was destroyed, the chimney should be left to "anchor" any spirits residing in the house to that location. If every part of the house was removed, the sprits would roam the earth, and perhaps haunt those who destroyed their home.
