In the late 19th century a preacher and his family lived in the deep woods of Jacksonboro on Parkers Ferry Road; long before it was built up to what it is today. During a beautiful sunny day the preacher's daughter went outdoors to play in the woods, she played and played but didn't return home before nightfall.
    The preacher and his wife grew worried over the whereabouts of their only daughter, where could she have gone? Acting on impulse the preacher grabbed his lantern, lit it, and went out to the woods in search of his daughter. While searching for his lost daughter the preacher was hit by a train and killed instantly. To this day the preacher still has his lantern lit and continues to search for his lost daughter. She  was never seen again, he was never seen again, his lantern remains as the only evidence of his existence.
