T‍he John Hay Center - The Legend of Dead Man's Hollow

A‍n historical legend from Washington County written by the Steven's Memorial Museum.

There’s a hollow out along Cox Ferry Road that many generations of county residents say will inspire eerie and foreboding feelings, even if you visit during daylight hours.  Something about the location is just a little off or creepy.  Some claim it is haunted by a horrible, unspeakable spirit of a bygone era, while others will tell you that its all nonsense, no more than a tale of urban legend.  But this Washington County legend is steeped in historical fact.
