The Bee Rock Troll

Between the towns of Big Stone Gap and Appalachia, in southwestern Virginia, is a large hole in a rock.  Actually, it's a tunnel, cut through a large rock that extends down from the mountain to the Powell River below, allowing coal trains to pass through with their loads back in the days when coal was king. It's also the dwelling-place of something else, a strange man-beast combination that, it's said, can be heard calling for assistance at odd times of the night.
