The Story

A fiddling devil seated on a rock near the falls is the park’s most colorful legend. Haunted Places also records shadow shapes in the woods, strange laughter and voices, mist and lights. These accounts attach the supernatural to the waterfall landscape, with later ghost reports joining the older devil story.
