That was very special. When my momma passed, she and my dad has been married for 43 years. She was buried about 4 miles from the house and many times we’d get up and find him gone. His car would be there but he was no where to be found. He had walked four miles down a major U.S. highway just to sit at her grave. It is just a wonder that he was not killed by a big truck. He never forgot her. He loved her till the day He died 26 years later. We buried him beside her. Thank you for that story.

99% of today's TV shows are unwatchable but 100 % of you videos are great, historical and entertaining so thanks Donnie!

My grandpa used to tell me a story said while after his mama died he looked out the window one morning and she was out there feeding the chicken's and he said mama and she went away. Your story made me think of what he always told me. God bless

My dad's been in Heaven over 30+ years. He grew up in Northeast TN. Hearing You, Donnie, & remembering how dad would tell "When I was a Boy" stories are a Great Combination of nostalgic happiness, that there's just no amount of money could Buy! Thanks Donnie Laws

One of the most beautiful ghost stories I've ever heard Donnie. People forget that not all ghost etories are about horror; (Although the Civil War was the horrific catalyst here.) If I get up that way I'll be sure ro look for that light! That kind of love surpasses all!

I wish you were a history teacher. Our youth could really truly learn so much from you! I absolutely love your channel, your stories, your voice. Thank you.

Good story Donnie, I can not imagine being loved that much. Sad to admit that I never found that kind of love from a man. Thanks and blessings.

This has to be about the best story you've ever told. Goes to show what the power of love can do!

Love is the most powerful thing ever existed. Thank you for the reminder.

Thank you Donnie, for such a touching ghost story. It really did bring tears to my eyes~ Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.

She must have been a wonderful lady to inspire such devotion.

Interesting little story, Donnie--Thank you! My family began in Appalachia over 170+ yrs ago, so I find the history & tales always intriguing. I remember my Grandfather gave me coins from the civil war era and someone stole them many yrs ago--I know we aren't suppose to put our value in "things," but back then, it broke my heart...

Thank you Mr Donnie for sharing that sweet love story he certainly had a never ending love for her ❤️❤️❤️👏👍🗝️🇺🇸

Excellent story. A wonderful testament to the endurance of a true and pure love, beyond all time and space.

1st Corinthians 13:4-7 Thanks for sharing,this chilling story about love and devotion. May God bless.

I'm happy I found this channel! You get history cute animals and scary stories!!!

Mr. Laws - you are a national treasure! Thank you for not letting these wonderful stories get lost in time.

Great story Mr. Donny... it reminded me of what happened after my grandma died unexpectedly. Story goes that the mail man saw her at the mail box a week after she passed. But he wasn't aware of this because he was on vacation the week she passed and only learn of her passing when he stopped to talk to my grandpa.

Great but sad ghost story, enjoyed it very much. I lost my husband in 2021 of 42 yrs to covid its so hard to go on without him. Just so hard to understand, but I know God has a plan.

What a great story. Thank you for sharing with us. Love can move mountains! God bless and have a great evening!

Thanks again. This didn't spook me, but it was sad. As if their spirits didn't go to the other side. Those are my thoughts.

God's good blessings to you and your family. Thank you for the great video

Always enjoy your stories

Hello Donnie great Appalachia ghost story. Have a wonderful week:)

I relate to every thing you say! 71 now & grew up country! These ways I saw back then. I asked My grand father born 1900 about great depression He raised 10 kids on 100 acres. Mom was the oldest. He said we had a warm place to sleep& plenty to eat& no body could make us move! Many of my days were spent at the (EXHAUST END OF A MULE) ! LOVED HIM ,TAUGHT ME MANY THINGS! 5TH GRADE ED. BUT ONE OF THE SMARTEST MEN I EVER KNEW! KEN. V8 FORD BUILDER 50 YEARS.

Sad, sad story Donnie. Those people really had it hard and it's a wonder they lived as long as they did. We had a place out 60 miles east of Cincinnati, all woods and lots of old old shacks like that. Mostly nice people but I loved going there. Old gravel roads, and definitely scary at night!!!

Sad story Donnie. Enjoyed your telling of it, Char

Thank you Donnie. I enjoyed this very much.

Awwww made me tear up. What a beautiful yet sad story. So precious of him to make sure she was not left in the dark. God Bless you and yours Mr. Donnie.

Maybe one of those lights you caught on your trail camera is a special light like this one. Great story!

Aho, my friend Donnie Law. The great white man's story teller. This is another example of your great story telling my friend. I'm saving this video to a folder "Donnie Law's" stories so I can share them with others and play them when my grandchildren sleep over, or when I get together with family and friends for a gathering or camping trip. Thank you for this entertainment and history. Your stories keep your Appalachian culture alive. You are an honor and blessing to your people my friend. And my words on this are spoken from my heart.

I can feel the secrets you speak of when you show the foothills and the mountains beyond!!!

What a sad creepy story my granny used to have some too love all your videos Donnie thank you for keeping the South alive God bless you ❤️

What an enchanting story. True love thru life and death. Thanks Donnie! ✌️❤️

Beautiful story, Donnie. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the great work.

Your stories and videos compel me to slow down and relax. Thank you!

What a lovely, lovely story. Thank you, Donnie, for reminding us that love survives death. Blessings to you and yours.

Mr. Laws, you certainly have the voice for story telling, your cadence is poetic, giving depth to these tales of folklore. Authors often say, it is not the tale, but the teller, and you, sir add credence to that statement.

Great story, i live up in the mountains of eastern ky. Daniel Boon national forest. I love your channel. Thank you

Must be getting old Donnie. More often than not, your beautiful stories have me in tears. Thank you for sharing ❤

That was an incredible story Donnie! Thank you for sharing.

This beautiful story is a beautiful tear jerker .I will watch this video over and over again, thank you so much Mr Donnie, from my heart..

Touching story, I enjoy it.

I live on the boarder of the Shenandoah National Park and there are little family cemeteries throughout, if you know where to look. Sadly the story tellers are passing on. Thanks for continuing the stories of Appalachia in Tennessee.

That’s an excellent example of true love lasting forever!

This story goes deep. There is more than mystery to this ghost tale. Thanks for sharing Donnie.

Such a heartfelt story. Maybe that's God letting us know, "there's always a light." Maybe if you look close enough to see it. Thank you, Donnie & to your Grandma.💖

Thank you Donnie for such an interesting heartfelt video. Perhaps when he was alive the husband also visited her grave many nights or days. God Bless you. Thank you so much for these videos.

Such a testament of love, good hard workin people, a family so full of light and love that darkness couldn’t break through. Such a heartwarming story. Thank you for sharing, really enjoyed this

Donnie I am always fascinated by your history stories. As always wonderful.

What a sad but beautiful story, I bet that little light Still does show up in the dark, but no one really sees it anymore. They Really Did Love each other, didn't they...Awful pity about their dear Son, but I'm certain they're all together now. ❤️ Thankyou for this Donnie.

I enjoyed it. thank you for all the stories

Thank You so much get this story Mr.Laws! It's kinda heartbreaking but it's nice that he's still watching over her. God Bless you sir.

Awwww that one made me cry. How precious is that?…❤️🤗🐝

What a heart warming story. Yes true love never dies .

What a beautiful story of true love, Donnie!❤

I once read a tombstone that said "For those who view with little care and go away and leave me here should remember that you must die and be entombed as well as I.".read that once..never forgot it.

Wonderful story, Donnie! Love never dies!!!

Thank You for the video. Sweet story. There is a lot we don't know and understand about death and beyond. God bless you and have a wonderful day.

I could sit here for hours,just watching & listening to your videos, they are very interesting so thank you very much, can't wait till the next videos and story's 👍.

Great show keep up the good work be safe my friend from haints

Beautiful story, enjoy how u add the little effects, like the candle on the headstone. Awesome video..

Donnie, the music for your intros and the slide guitar throughout the video is so cool. The guitar riff and piano used for the intro of this video is truly soothing and magical.

This brought a tear to my eyes. The thought of that old man standing by a grave in the dark of night to keep his beloved company and to give her a light in the night. Then to continue it on even after death. I want them both to be in heaven and reunited for an eternity. I miss my beloved, too. He's been gone 15 years now. Waiting for the day when he will come to take me home to the Lord.

This is really interesting. As always, thank you SO MUCH for your research, hard work and videos. I love your channel. Once again, much love and respect from Ontario, Canada.

Another good video. Thank you

It's such a heartwarming story. Thank you, Donnie. God 🙏 🙏 🙏 bless.

Thanks for sharing your stories Donnie 😊 We love them🥰🥰🥰and we love you too🥰🥰🥰

Such a sweet story. They are together and their love will never die. Love is a powerful energy , I truly believe that. More powerful than death. Thank you for this one.

My dad loved the old ways and he shared that with me as a positive thing. I remember the old highways, they followed the old dirt highways which started in the horse and buggy days, and then, the roads NEVER cut across a man's fields or pastures and whenever possible, they followed a tree line so they could have shade and be cool. Often, a man would let a road be cut through his property so the road might come between his house and his barn, and the man might make a toll road through his property so you could pay to take a shortcut. Where my dad grew up, it was country and the narrow road in front of his house, which was built in 1848, was then the Winona to Greenville stage road. Then the Rail Road, the Mississippi Central, was laid out and a road ran along the entire length of the rail road, and Highway 51 was an improved road in order that in case of emergencies, people could get to the train wreck or derailment. The old Winona to Greenville stage road began to decrease in use as other rail road lines, and the accompanying improved road became a highway. Dad used to take me into the country to follow the old stage roads and local roads and I continued to do that when I got my driver's license and a whole new Old World opened up to me. Eventually, Highway 51, became Old Highway 51 and a new, paved highway 51 was built, closely following parallel to old 51, but when difficult places which had to be maintained regularly caused the new 51 to be moved so that the constant maintenance could be abandoned. And this brings me to Cades Cove. Cades Cove was isolated but not totally because there were two roads in and out. One was the old Maryville road which went over Rich Mountain and on the other side was known as Montvail Road which in turn went into Maryville. In Cades Cove, the loop road is a park service road and was a connection of old roads which were not maintained by Blount County or the state of Tennessee. Local Cades Cove taxes were to be collected for road maintenance in the Cove, but many people were too poor to have money to pay the tax so men would give a couple of weeks or more to keep the roads maintained. What we see today is but a shadow of what used to exist there, farms all over the place including mountains on both sides of the Cove. Most of those roads were closed when the people were made to move out, but some were able to make a deal and sell the land to the park service but were allowed to live in them until they died. I have close family in Maryville and that turned into my second home. When I was a boy, we went to Cades Cove frequently, and there were no bridges on the loop road, there were fords. They were improved by pouring concrete on the stream beds, but there were no bridges. I loved what the English call Water Splashes, that is, driving through a stream, so long as it was shallow enough to not splash onto your engine and causing the electrical system from shorting out! So sometimes we would go there and a ranger would tell us that there had been a lot of rain in the mountains and sooner or later the streams would be too high to ford. If you went from, say, Cades Cove campground toward the Cable Mill, the ford might be shallow enough to get there but the stream would rise and if you couldn't wait to get home again so you would take the old road that led to a state highway which ran alongside the Little Tennessee River. And there was even a ferry that operated to take you across the Little Tennessee to another road going away from Maryville. Ah, such were the days for me. Maybe I liked the fords in the mountains because my middle name is Clifford, which means born by the ford by the cliff. What I do not like is what the interstate system has done, by making everthing along its path the same. That interstate building let farms be confiscated just like what happened when the park service took the mountains. We all enjoy the speed of the interstate system and going to the beautiful Smoky Mountains National Park, but for both of those, there were countless families who lost family farms, homes, jobs, etc, and there was no fun in that for them. I think about that still, 68 years after I was born, and lament the passing of the old ways but enjoy the new ways because I have to!
