| 説明 | From: www.hauntmastersclub.com/places/curious_places/devils_loo..."Since Native American Yuchi Indians inhabited northeast Tennessee, there have been tales of a terrible supernatural presence residing at the Devil’s Looking Glass off TN-81S in Erwin, Tennessee. Author, historian and folklorist Pat Alderman believed the sheer cliff received its name because at certain times it is believed you can see the face of a horned devil on the cliff, but the monster in question far predates the introduction of Satan in the United States.One of the first books connecting paranormal phenomena to the cliff was Charles Edwin Price’s 1995 book Haunted Tennessee. He confirms that even Native American Indians were terrified of the image of a face that lies in the cliff and presents an atypical “lover’s leap” theme to it as well:""One place where terrible spirits lurked – and perhaps still do- was a 300-foot-tall rock cliff located on the Nolichucky Rivernear the Unicoi/Washington County line. Called “The Devil’s Looking Glass”, the cliff was so infamous for the spirits livingthere that the [Native North American Yuchi and Cherokee] Indians avoided it whenever possible. Even war parties floatingdown the Nolichucky River in canoes would refuse to look at its sheer rock face while they paddled past as quickly as possible.It was said that a warrior who had dishonored his tribe climbed to the top of the Looking Glass one day and flung himselfoff the summit. His troubled spirit was rumored to inhabit the cliff and would lure other warriors to jump – sort of a mysteryloves company attitude. (Price, pgs. 5 & 6)" |
