Devil's Looking Glass

[Duckie]

Devil's Looking Glass
Unicoi County, Tennessee

Tales are told of the Devil's Looking Glass, a sheer rock wall rising
hundreds of feet over the Nolichucky River in Unicoi County,
Tennessee. One story concerns an Indian woman who, having lost her
beloved husband in battle, flung herself off the precipice in a fit on
anguish. Her ghost is said the haunt the base of the cliff. Another
story is that in a cave, about halfway up the face, there lives a
horrible demon who lies in wait to pounce upon a passing canoe. In
fact, some stories have every nook and cranny bulging with evil
spirits of endless variety. Since the Nolichucky River was a main
"highway" for the Cherokee Indians, it was no wonder that the Looking
Glass was passed in great haste whenever possible.
