This was the manor we visited - called the Cone Manor. This picture is from Blue Ridge National Heritage website. The road just behind the balustrade is the one that leads to the stretch where we heard the knocks.

I don't know if I've ever felt this kind of sense of dread before. I reached my husband, and we both bolted out of there. This was probably around 2018. We will not be going back to that place heh.

It got worse when I realized that the knocks were also now coming from the other side of the road. And as I ran back to my husband, the knocks were moving behind me... almost as if they were chasing me.

now I knew that up that way there was the estate's cemetery... so I thought that maybe they were doing some work there... that is until the knocks started getting closer. In fact they got so close that it sounded like they were coming from just behind the trees maybe 20 feet away from me...

I stop and turn around only to see my husband stopped in the middle of the road with an expression of concern / fear on his face. I quickly start backtracking towards him, and as I do, I start to hear these rhythmic knocks to the left of me...

I love nature, so I was hoppity skipping ahead of my husband in my excitement to be among nature again. And as I kept skipping, I realized that I stopped hearing my husband's footsteps behind me.

Well, we walked around the manor itself for a while, and stumbled across this country road with a steep mountain covered in dense shrubs and trees going up on one side and down the mountain (and also dense forest) on the other.

We get there - and while the place is somewhat run-down, it is still very interesting. I love visiting historical places, and it sounded like that place had some history behind it. And the view from it was just breathtaking.

There was this one time we went to visit this historical manor in the mountains. It is situated kinda sorta in the middle of nowhere. Was hard to get to via windy roads that even our mini cooper had a hard time getting through.

Are any of you into creepy / ghost stories? I have a few that I kinda want to share. I live not too far from the Appalachian mountains. We go there for short getaways and visits. If you are not familiar with the area - it is stunning. Beautiful green mountains spanning as far as the eye can see.
