Gatlinburg Folklore is a blog that shares info on the legends, lore, and ghost stories of Gatlinburg, TN. Find out what sort of ghosts the mountain town of Gatlinburg is harboring. Shedding light on Gatlinburg`s legends, lore, and ghosts. My name is James. I’ve lived in Gatlinburg my entire life and still work in the area as a hotel night auditor (3rd shift has made me a believer of ghosts). During that time, I have heard every creepy tale this little town has to offer, most of which I believe are true. It’s a fun town, but it’s also a creepy town with lots of dark history. I hope to bring some of those tales to life on this website.
