Wikipedia is not a memorial. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:38, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment seems like a number of books on ghosts and Appalachian hikes mention the subject, e.g.: [1], [2]. Not sure if this is enough to establish notability, but the sources do mention that his death was covered in newspapers at the time in the 19th century.

Delete as there actually may be a better article somewhere but none of this including the few several links I found at Books and News, and that's it, nothing else and this currently simply seems like folklore. SwisterTwister talk 08:28, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
