Ghost Ranch Tennessee Novels & Stories

It was where they would meet up with modern-day gauchos to ride along on a cattle drive the following day. Upon arriving at the ranch, they were greeted by the owners, Jim and Helen Gardiner, an American couple in their early sixties who'd owned the ranch for about ten years. "Welcome to Estancia Ranquilo," Helen said warmly. "We've put you in the Castle Room. It's not actually in the main lodge. I hope you don't mind." "It sounds lovely," Bella replied. While their bags were taken to their room, the Gardiners took them on an informal tour of the rustic lodge and the grounds. Luke took the opportunity to get some good footage of the place and of the mountains that were visible in the di

“These guys sure know how to pick a spot don’t they?” Sam smirked, her friend wasn’t kidding. Most rodeos were held at dirty, dust filled old race tracks, or some farmers field. But these guys had money to spare and it definitely showed. The view from their campsite was breathtaking. Somehow she and Dani scored a prime spot, being first timers. Their trailer faced wide, open fields that formed into gentle rolling hills for miles. There were speckles of cattle and horses dotting the horizon for as far as the eye could see, with an occasional mounted cowhand riding amongst them, working the herd. The land seemed to go on forever, meeting crystal blue skies, like something from the movies. The

"I'll have the men start bringing in your goods, Abegail and we'll get you some basic furniture. But while they're doing that, why don't you and Martha look around the place? You have a little land here, but most of the land around you belongs to a big rancher over to the south, up the valley. If you come over to the window here, you can see his house and barn spread up there on that knoll below Hahn's Peak. His place is called the Water Creek Ranch. Thousands and thousands of acres. A lot of cattle. But you won't want to try to get too friendly with him. He's a mean son of a gun, and he's got some wild sons he doesn't try too hard to control. His wife isn't anyone you're likely to want to a

Everywhere Angus looked, he saw Anna, and he thought of how she'd love the valley and the foothills, and how not far from where he imagined building their dream home, there was an ideal place for a barn and stables complex, one that would be perfect for the kind of riding school she'd talked about. His heart beat faster as the ranch gate came into view. He'd tried to call Anna from the airport, but she hadn't picked up. It was possible that she'd been out riding without her phone. Now, he couldn't wait to find her. He pulled the rented pick-up truck into the same parking space he'd been using and hopped out, slinging his bag over his shoulder. As he approached the main lodge, the large w

"With everything that happened. Starting with me trying to go back to Boston, then realising I'm a ghost. I went back there and jumped into that empty grave, Trying to kill myself" "Wait wait wait." Austin interrupted her, smiling. "You knew you were a Ghost, and you tried to kill yourself " he raised his hands in apology, as he couldn't control his laughter. He saw she wasn't having any of it, and stopped laughing, but the smile on his face couldn't fade away.

Jackson continued, clearing his throat and sitting with her at the table, trying desperately to push past whatever had just happened. “Oh?” Lana’s face was masked in a quizzical look, her blush finally starting to settle as she watched him from across the table. Jackson’s voice hushed to a near whisper, so much so that Lana had to lean in across the table to hear him properly. “I don’t know if Roman’s talked to you about this, but there are some local legends in the parks—about what the people here call ‘ghost tigers’. There have been some sightings, and that means sometimes there are poachers. Texans with guns, looking for their fifteen minutes of fame. So we’ll need to be careful when we r

“I heard some mumblings about this place the night we stayed at the ranch. Is it true that all of the people of the settlement were killed by the notorious Jones gang?” “It’s true that they were all killed, and the place burnt down, but no one knows for sure if it was the Jones gang. It could have been Indians too. This land sits in the middle between Crow and Blackfoot. They were battling pretty heavy about that time.” Melody’s hand went to the base of her throat. “Are they still at war like that?” “I don’t believe so. It’s been pretty quiet for some time now.” “Thank goodness,” she said with a smile and a sigh of relief. After a moment of silence, she whispered, “They say this place is

"Okay, Bondurant it is." Gwen relaxed her body till her back was against the seat. She had a soft spot for Bondurant. She had attended the yearly barbeques that were held in June and the Heritage Days that were held in August in previous years. The Black Hills were her first choice for hunting grounds, but the Gros Ventre Wilderness area was a close second. Remote and relatively unexplored, the Gros Ventre Wilderness area was one of her favorite spots to go hunting.
