Hunters will barely step foot in the woods between Sheffey Hollow Road and Midway Road (State Highway 348) because they say there is something or someone that is invisible that follows them throughout the night.Independent stories from different hunters follow a common theme. When they are in the woods at night, their dogs become frightened just as a hunter becomes aware of footsteps behind him. Inexplicably, the hunter swings his spotlight around but finds no one else is with him. He will continue on for a few feet, and the phantom footsteps will follow until he stops and searches the woods again. This cat and mouse game will continue until the hunter leaves the woods. Folklore maintains that the footsteps belong to an unnamed African American man who was hanged in the hollow around the turn of the 20th century.
