8 Disturbing Stories From the Most Remote Parts of the Appalachian Mountains

8 Disturbing Stories From the Most Remote Parts of the Appalachian Mountains Eight accounts. Eight ordinary people who entered the most remote parts of the Appalachian Mountains for ordinary reasons — a quiet cabin rental, a familiar drive home, a routine trail inspection, a night of camping on a ridge flat, a decade of backcountry survey work — and came out changed. A rental cabin in Pocahontas County where a guestbook entry was circled in pencil by no one who should have been there. A logging road in eastern Kentucky where the same man appeared at three separate wide spots faster than a moving truck. A closed trail in Virginia where a retired ranger found a child's handwriting dated the day the trail shut down. A Tennessee holler where something learned the shape of a dog's bark and moved across an open field without making a sound. A North Carolina ridgeline where two friends watched something circle their tent and still cannot agree on which direction it was facing. A Cherokee National Forest creek drainage where the current ran the wrong way in photographs and five stones were arranged by hands that left no tracks. A fire tower in southwestern Virginia where a lookout found entries in his own handwriting he had no memory of writing. And a two-lane mountain road in West Virginia where a woman passed the same barefoot man on three separate curves — each one two miles apart — at two in the morning. These are allegedly true accounts. Make of them what you will. #appalachianhorror, #appalachiantrail, #horrorstories Gathering Darkness by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100849 Artist: incompetech.com/ The Halloween Dawn by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: www.twinmusicom.org/song/248/the-halloween-dawn Artist: www.twinmusicom.org Ice Demon by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1200061 Artist: incompetech.com/
