Bol Some legends are just stories. These fifty left a record.On a November night in 1966, four young people outside Point Pleasant, West Virginia, saw something with red eyes standing in the road. Thirteen months later, the Silver Bridge collapsed into the Ohio River and forty-six people died. The town has been connecting the two ever since.In June 1969, a six-year-old boy named Dennis Martin stepped into the brush at Spence Field, high on the Appalachian Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains. One of the largest searches in the park's history never found him.Appalachian Horror Legends collects fifty of the darkest stories in the mountains, from north Georgia to Pennsylvania. Most legend books just retell the spooky version. This one goes back to the source: the newspaper that first printed the story, the court record, the search report, the name, the date, the county.Inside you'll find: - Monsters and Creatures: the Mothman, the Wampus Cat, the Flatwoods Monster, the Snallygaster, and the Moon-Eyed People- Ghosts and Hauntings: the Bell Witch, the Brown Mountain Lights, Mamie Thurman, and the rusting Ferris wheel at Lake Shawnee- Witches and Dark Magic: Spearfinger, the Raven Mocker, the granny women, and the Hex Murder of York County- Unsolved Mysteries and Disappearances: Dennis Martin, Trenny Gibson, the Kecksburg fireball, and the Hawks Nest tunnel- Vengeance and Curses: the Hatfields and McCoys, Matewan, the Curse of Cornstalk, and the Moonville TunnelWhere the record is solid, you get the names and dates. Where it is thin, the book tells you so. More often than not, what really happened is more unsettling than the campfire version.Read them at home. Then go and stand there.Every chapter ends with a Where to Go section: the real trail, overlook, tunnel, or town where it happened, with access notes. Several are right on the Appalachian Trail. You can stand in the concrete bunkers outside Point Pleasant, walk the Roan Highlands, put your hand near the carvings on Judaculla Rock, or walk into Silver Run Tunnel.New in this Second Edition- Completely rewritten, with roughly two-thirds of the entries new- An annotated bibliography for readers who want to dig deeper- A clean, easy-to-read typeface throughoutPerfect for hikers, fans of true crime and Southern gothic, cryptid hunters, and anyone who has stood on a ridge at dusk and felt the fog coming in.Scroll up and grab your copy. Just don't read the last entry first.
