I’ve live in Blue Ridge almost my entire life. Y’all should have went at midnight 😂 Btw Those sounds are probably just the folks up the holler messing with y’all. We love it when ppl come asking “locals” questions. We do our best to give you a genuine experience! Y’all come back! 👋

[@ghostwhisperer2714]

We we're there for Hrs and Nobody was there Messing with us or not I carry my gun everywhere so I felt safe. We were on vacation up there and I only had my wife for the camera and she was not doing it at night.. It was a Beautiful place and lived up to the legend.

Stolen. That's messed up

[@timothyhopper8348]

I am the descendent of the Longs,Bradleys,Chastains,Garretts,We are creek descent and Aires to the confederacy so many stories handed down who knows what is fact from fiction..I do know most of my heirs rode with the 6th Calvary under Col Smith and merged with the Tenn Vols.

[@ghostwhisperer2714]

I went on what was told by the locals. I couldn't research while in the middle of nowhere so I just went on that. Please do tell your side My followers would love to know the story.

[@STho205]

Are you fully sure Heirs of the Confederacy. Elisha Stanley and his brother were drafted in 64 and kept leaving the army camp at Ellijay without permission (aka deserted) and finally got run down by a Confederate patrol in Sept and shot at home along with O'Kelly who was shot at the bank of the ford on the Tilly side of the river (old Aska road...now Shallowford Bridge Rd). O'Kelly and his brother had run away from his CS unit a year before and joined the EastTenn-US Cavalry volunteers. Aska/Rich Mtn/Toccoa was a troublespot for union sympathizers in the Chickamauga to Atlanta year of the war. The Stanley Settlement cemetery even marks them as anti-confederates on their modern gravestone. Is that written history wrong? I'm open to any other story as long as it is backed up elsewhere. I find history of the Garlands, Stanleys, Chastains... very colorful. I'm sure there are conflicting family stories.

That tree doesn't look old enough or even very sturdy for that matter. I doubt that's a hanging tree.

[@aliciapeck9931]

Wrong tree...the tree in the middle is the actual tree they were hung from and she is buried underneath the tree. Also, unmarked graves were also slaves and people who could not afford a marker. Would love to see you go back at night and see if you pick up on more activity.

[@ghostwhisperer2714]

Yeah we definitely want to go back. We didn't plan on going there so our lack of knowledge had us searching for the grave and as you seen we got it wrong. Beautiful place though. Thanks for the comment

[@mkelly9937HTD4LIFE]

Some of the other videos I've watched h has said her headstone was stolen

[@STho205]

Many of the stones are mid century modern granite cuts replacing damaged, deteriorates or missing stones...sometimes guesses at the burial site. Same is true in the Stanley Settlement cemetery across the steel bridge. Most stones of the era in the highlands are found flat rocks with DIY etchings or etched bricks. Many were wooden and were lost a decade after burial. That Tilly Bend church was built in the late 1920s to replace the Tilly Mount Pleasant church now under the lake.

[@throwbackcountrymusic]

Not underneath the tree-you might want to walk down into the woods behind the graveyard a few 100 feet to see her actual grave. The church didn’t want to bury her with the other people in their graveyard. Most people don’t know that so they just assume it’s under the tree where all the candle wax is melted. 👍

Oh bullshit 😂

[@WadeKing-dm2hw]

In Europe and here in the US witches were not allowed to be buried in consecrated grounds. They were denied the dignity of a Christian burial. Instead of facing East to face Christ at the resurrection they were buried facing West. The accused witches at Salem were not buried in the local cemetery. But that may have changed through the time since the Witch Trials in Salem to this witches burial. Plus that belief may have been different in certian parts of the country. I had a couple of ancestors, one not that far back, that were healers and knew about other things I guess, who were NOT allowed to be buried in the same cemetery of their community but on the outside in unconsecrated ground. In Appalachia the Granny and Grandpa witches were healers and they were actually "Christian Witches, and they brought all those old world practices over with them from Europe. Many had Native ancestry and learned things from the Native Tribes on how to heal with herbs and wort of evil. They were members of their local churches and were highly respected as the doctors in those communities. Many of the incantations are Bible versus and the words "Father, Son, Holy Ghost" were often used. I guess Miss Tilley had a tragic life loosing so many family to illness and murder. I guess she snapped and did the unspeakable. Put a curse on that community. Those granny witches knew to do such a thing would come back on them, and condemnation was the result of ever using that knowledge.

[@kensleyyyp]

The fact that my great-great-great-great-great grandpa was the founding pastor and owner there until he died

[@carolchidlow4798]

The backwards stone is usually a preacher's grave, facing his congregation. Most other stones face East to see the coming of Jesus on judgement day.

[@blakeallen8311]

We were up there yesterday evening… we live an hour away. The tree you pointed out in the video was NOT the tree she was hung from… it’s the one that stands solo in the middle.

Whole congregation moved inland to this plot in 1927 when the lake flooded the 1850s church. This was an impromptu cemetery hill for the Garlands and Tillys in the late 1800s. The church and most of the graves are after 1927.

I've been to plenty of places big youtube starts have been and nothing happens. That's how it goes sometimes.

That would be cool. Be safe and video it.

[@carlajohnson9294]

This is too funny. I have lived here my entire life. I can assure you that there are NO cannibals in this area. Those sounds are probably people just trying to scare you, because people come up there all the time. And the tree the hung her from was in the middle of the cemetery from what I’ve saw and been told over the years. But good video though but you need to research more for sure. Very misleading. A lot of those unmarked graves could be of slaves or people that couldn’t afford headstones not all babies. The very small graves are of babies or children. The Garland babies if you will look closer or pull up on find a grave you will see one passed the same day she was born the other was a month old. Doesn’t mean “stillborn”. Please again do research before you make false content just for views. Scary and interesting place for sure. Hope you enjoyed your visit.

[@jessicamcfarland3562]

That is not the tree or Elizabeth grave. The tree is in middle of graveyard, has a bench under it and that is her grave by the bench. Foot marking says E.J.B Elizabeth Jane (Tilly) Bradley

It’s hard to tell but maybe “ride girl”. I’ll extract the audio from the clip and give it to my AI to see if it can decipher what is being said and I’ll let you know. I did go to Tilley Baptist yesterday and Elizabeth Tilley doesn’t have a headstone by the tree anymore, it’s marked with a fieldstone and some coins. Also, Dollie Long’s grave has been knocked over and is lying on its back at the back edge of the cemetery. I did have a feeling like someone was watching me, and when I went back to my vehicle there were people parked outside it who didn’t say anything when I asked how they were. Odd lol.
