In 'Pioneers in Paradise,' V. N. "Bud" Phillips tells about the
screaming lake at DeFriece Park at the intersection of Fifth and Stine
Streets in Bristol, Tennessee. Allegedly, in 1876, 16 year-old Viola
Kennett was ice-skating on the lake when the ice gave way and she drown
in the frigid depths. Since then, on some old, winter nights, it is
said you can still hear her screams coming from the lake.
