In this episode, we venture deep into the jagged peaks and shadowed hollows of North Carolina to uncover the state’s most enduring supernatural mysteries, from the scientifically defiant Brown Mountain Lights to the sterile, cursed soil of the Devil’s Tramping Ground. We pivot from geological anomalies to the chilling world of Appalachian folklore, tracing the dark legacies of mountain "queens" like the Witch of Roan Mountain, whose reign of terror was allegedly ended by a silver bullet and a pioneer's camera, and Mother Nance of Macon County, a woman said to possess the power to warp human flesh and tame charging beasts with a single glare. Blending historical record with oral tradition, this journey explores the thin, misty line where ancient superstition meets modern reality in the heart of the Blue Ridge.

In this episode we are exploring the chilling intersection of history and folklore across the humid hollows of Tennessee and Alabama. From the "White Thang"—a screaming, pale anomaly that mimics the cries of a baby—to the suffocating nighttime embrace of Abbeville’s "Huggin' Molly," the podcast investigates the regional boogeymen that haunt the Southern landscape. Whether it’s a man-eating serpent in the Coosa River or a cursed witch stalking Hinds Road, these tales go beyond simple campfire stories to examine the consistent, unsettling accounts that have terrified generations.

In this episode, we kick things off with a debate: What is truly the most haunted place in Kentucky? Is it Octagon Hall in Franklin, or Waverly Hills in Louisville? From there, we leave the South for the frozen volcanic rock of Iceland to uncover the real history of the holidays. Forget Santa—meet the 13 Yule Lads, a band of criminal trolls who descend from the mountains to harass households alongside their child-eating mother, Grýla. We explore their specific crimes, from Window-Peeper to Meat-Hook, and reveal why their departure on January 6th triggers a night of terror where elves migrate, seals shed their skins, and cows speak with human voices—a sound that legend says will stop your heart.
