An apple tree that growls at people who pick its fruit.

A woman who rose from her grave each night to get food for a baby born to her after she was buried.

A peach tree that grows on the head of a deer. These and other legends and ghost stories handed down for generations are contained in this collection of 25 tales from East Tennessee.
