The old storage building, the Linville Cabin near the Appalachian
Caverns in Blountville, Tennessee was the inspiration for the book
title, 'The Marble and Other Ghost Tales of Tennessee and Virginia' by
Joe Tennis. The author writes that the house was probably built in 1777
and was a private residence until 2005. Afterwards, some people
reported seeing a shadowy figure walking about the house by
candlelight. But, Joe Tennis and many others believe there is another
ghost there, one of a little boy wearing dated clothes who likes to
play with period marbles. The boy is said to be present when what
sounds like a marble rolls across the floor.
