Gear up for a frightful jaunt into the darkest reaches of the ancient Appalachians.


Folks deep within the Appalachian hollers lean close to the campfire to share stories of the inexplicable with hushed awe. Monsters rumbling in the hills. Strange lights darting through the pitchblack night sky. Horrible occurrences, almost ineffable in their bizarre tragedy.


"Tall tales," you might say.


Tell that to the Flatwoods monster in Braxton County, West Virginia. Or the Goat Man of Louisville—look into his humanoid eyes and let him know you don't believe. And what of those apparitions in Mammoth Cave's Corpse Rock, or the Satanspawn known as the Jersey Devil that attacked a trolley car? How do you respond when confronted by these mysteries?


From metaphysical energy that swirls near the Serpent Mound in Ohio to Point Pleasant's Mothman legacy, Mark Muncy and Kari Schultz explore the dark history lurking in the shadows of Appalachia.
