Faith Submits Youth to Snake Bite in Giles
Walter Mills a 24 year old youth in Hollow Giles county invited a 36 inch black rattler to strike his hand during a Holiness church ritual.

The event reflects the community’s strong religious fervor centered around the McClaugherty Chap church and its snake handling tradition amidst local family ties and surrounding town news.
