Tuesday Mountain Top spoke with speaker Jerry Deaton about the event. The stories that I decided to write about are all based on things that I heard growing up, little local legends or folklore. And they're all based on people that I knew, all the characters are based on people that I knew. And you probably know if you're a frontpike, well you probably know that mountain people tell stories. And that's what we grew up doing. You know we only had, we didn't have that much TV back there and so people would just tell ghost stories. And I grew up listening to the big toe and raw head and bloody bones and things like that and it just, I just love doing it. During the event Deaton will share stories from two bucks that he has written. So I just kind of started thinking about things that happened and then a friend asked me if I was writing them down and I said no. And he said well you ought to. And so I started kind of jotting them down and then I went to the Heinman Settlement School, their Appalachian Writers Conference, and just got me interested in writing a book. And I decided I was going to and I did. And so I've written that one and then another one called Kentucky Boy, which is 20 short stories about my life growing up in Brethwick County. Appalachian Ghost Stories will be held Thursday, October 13th at 5.30 at the Johnson County Public Library. For Mountain Top News, I'm Joel Chorjol.
