"The "Tsawasi" and "Tsagasi" are another of the Cherokee legends to saturate the Western North Carolina area. These were spirits who helped hunters sneak up on their prey without startling it. They were good natured creatures who wanted to help the indigenous people survive in the rough terrain. There were other "races" of faerie who were not evil but were said to play tricks on the Cherokee by making them slip and fall while hunting in the woods. Some say that evidence for the existence of these faeries is scattered all across Western NC, including mound type structures, mysterious smoke bellowing from the ground in some areas, and relics known as faerie crosses. These were small crosses formed out of crystal and sometimes adorned with gemstones. These crosses are still found until this day and are valuable additions to serious gemstone enthusiasts collections. The spirits of these faeries are said to live near rivers and streams and hide under rocks. The river that flows near Chimney Rock NC is one perfect example of a dwelling place for the Tsawasi and Tsagasi. Just Cherokee legend? You decide."
