- Narrator: [narration as John 'John Boy' Walton, Jr. reading from his journal] According to my grandfather, legendary creatures once lived, and some still existed, on Waltons Mountain. There were tales of a bear so huge he had no fear of anything, a snake as big as a railroad tie, and a mythical white deer which could be spotted at the edge of a wood on a snowy evening. One creature we thought was legendary, we went searching for and found.
