BellGab. We're vaguely lovable.

The paranormal investigator was ok because he talked about some local legends, in particular the "ghost wagon" in Eanes (outside of Austin, TX.) I've heard this legend. I'm suspect of the whole cotton-thing because that area wasn't into cotton (the area primarily limestone canyons, creeks, and cedar brakes.) In the area, which is now Rollingwood and Westlake, suburbs of Austin, it was mainly cedar chopping, ranching, small subsistence farms, goats, moon-shining, and outlawry (after the Indians were drove out and before the bridges, golf courses, mega-mansions and gated communities.) But I've heard that legend. In the general area he should've mentioned "Devil's Backbone," "Jacob's Well," haunted Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin, the "Hairy Man" near Round Rock, Smuggler's Cave in Rollingwood, etc.  Hole 4 & 5 at Lost Creek Country Club was known as "Devil's Hollow," due to odd lights and a "hairy man" being sighted there in the early '30s by Viola Marshall (of Marshall Ranch.)There are also several unmarked graves (bootlegging, Confederate/Union/Klan, feuds, lynchings and frontier justice, etc) and more legitimate family cemeteries in the area.

Reference, besides personal hearings, etc is "Eanes: Protrait of a Community" 1986

Proper compaction however is mandatory.
