Writing some of my favorite articles has been an incredibly rewarding experience. One story that stands out to me is about the plane crash that happened on Dean Hill in 1932. This tragic event left a lasting mark on the community, and sharing its haunting history helped me connect with the past in a meaningful way.
When I first decided to write about this crash, I wasn’t sure where to begin. I had heard the local stories and rumors surrounding the crash, but I wanted to get to the real heart of what happened. I reached out to Mack Holliman, whose family was directly involved, and he shared his family’s memories of that night. What started as a ghost story soon became a powerful story about community, loss, and how people come together during times of tragedy.
To tell the story, I went to the very place where it all happened. Walking through the woods near the crash site, with Mack guiding me, made the past come alive. It felt like the history was right there with me. But it wasn’t just about what happened back then—it was also about how the story still affects people today. During my visit, I felt a strange stillness that made me think about all the stories passed down through the years. That moment helped me understand why this story still holds such meaning for the community.
This article wasn’t just about recounting an event. It helped me realize why history is so important. Our past shapes who we are, and the stories we tell about it influence how we see the world. Writing about Dean Hill reminded me that history is an ongoing journey, and we’re all part of it. For me, that’s the magic of storytelling—it lets us relive moments, connect with our roots, and understand the world a little more deeply. I encourage you to explore stories like this and see how they bring history to life.
