The Great Smoky Mountains National Park

National Park Mysteries & Disappearances, Book 1

De: Steve Stockton

Narrado por: Chris Abernathy

One of the most visited national parks in the country has a dark side.

The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited national park in the country, with 12.1 million recreational visits in 2020. Aside from crowds of hikers, campers, and general tourists, there's a dark side to the Smokies, the town of Gatlinburg and the surrounding foothills.

From strange disappearances, grisly murders and bone-chilling paranormal hauntings to ghost sightings, this pristine paradise has a lot more to offer than just serene hiking trails or camping.

So put aside your nature guidebooks, forget about the pretty leaves and the relaxing streams, as well as the miniature golf, the funnel cakes and all the other "tourist traps", and prepare for a wild ride on the dark side of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Mysteries in the Great Smoky Mountains

This was the first book in a new series about National Park mysteries and disappearances. This edition features the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and it is full of strange and unusual places and stories. Locations and handy tips are given as well as warnings, while beautiful, it can be a dangerous place. Very enjoyable and entertaining with lots of great local folklore. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. This book now has an audiobook version that is just as entertaining.

Content

Sounds like something put together by the visitor's bureau for Gatlinburg. Geared towards local haunted places to visit. Boring.

Good stories lose the ads

I couldn’t believe at the end of stories of interesting places that if they were associated w businesses he would give name, address & phone #. I didn’t want to pay to hear adds. Good stories tho

Good stories strange narration style.

I am obsessed with the NPS stories and I enjoyed the stories, but this narrator has an odd cadence where every time he ends a sentence, it sounds like he’s pushing out a BM. Every time. My ears can’t handle it.

Great and interesting stories

I loved this book. Informative cool stories also i think the narrator did a great job. I bought the next book in this series hope its as good.
