Gear up for a frightful jaunt into the darkest reaches of the ancient
Appalachians.
Folk deep within Appalachian hollers lean close to share stories of the
inexplicable with hushed awe. Monsters rumbling in the hills. Strange
lights darting through the pitch-black night sky. Horrible occurrences,
almost ineffable in their bizarre tragedy. Tall tales, you might say.
But 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 Satan-spawn known as the Jersey Devil? How do you
respond when those mysteries confront? 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..
