One story could be about a phantom worker. Legend has it that at Split Rock Quarry, there's a figure that looks like a miner from long ago. He's often seen in the evenings, still carrying his pickaxe as if he's on his way to work. People say he died in a mining accident but his spirit remains.
Yes, some might. There could have been real accidents at the quarry in the past. People getting hurt or even dying during the mining operations. These tragedies could be the basis for the ghost stories. The fear and sadness associated with those events might have led to the creation of stories about spirits lingering.
It's said that the split rock was caused by natural geological forces over a long period of time. Maybe some pressure and temperature changes led to the fracture.
There's a story where a group of teenagers decided to explore the abandoned rock quarry. Once inside, they found old mining equipment that seemed to move on its own. The air turned cold and they heard whispers that seemed to be coming from the very rocks. They tried to leave but got disoriented and it took them hours to find their way out, all the while feeling like they were being watched by unseen entities.
A spooky tale is that of a couple who went into the abandoned rock quarry for a picnic. As they were setting up, they heard a blood - curdling scream. When they looked around, they saw a shadowy figure darting between the rocks. They quickly packed up and left, but as they drove away, they could still see the figure in their rear - view mirror, chasing them until they were far from the quarry.
Most likely not. Ghost stories are often just that - stories. They are passed down through generations, and with each retelling, they can get more and more exaggerated.
There are stories about Elvis Presley too. His Graceland mansion is said to have some unexplained occurrences. Some visitors have reported feeling a strange presence, as if the King of Rock 'n' Roll is still there. It could be just people's imagination because they idolize him so much, but it makes for a great ghost story.
There are rumors about Jim Morrison too. The Doors' frontman. Supposedly, his spirit has been felt near his gravesite in Paris. People say they get a strange, almost electric feeling when they visit the place, as if Morrison's presence is still there.
Another story involves a couple who had a tragic accident near Enchanted Rock. Their car crashed on a nearby road, and they died instantly. It is said that their ghosts haunt the rock. They can be seen holding hands and walking around the base of the rock, as if still enjoying the beauty of the place, but also trapped in their final moments.
One story is about a phantom hiker. People claim to see a figure in old - fashioned hiking gear near the Chickies Rock trails at night. It just appears and disappears, leaving behind an eerie feeling.
