3 Things Appalachian Park Rangers Have Seen That They Can't Explain...

My book, The Appalachian Book of the Living and the Lost, is waiting for you at www.Otisboone.com There is a bare circle in the North Carolina woods where nothing has grown for two hundred years, and when they finally tested the soil, the answer only made the mystery worse. It is one of three things the people who spend their lives in these mountains have run up against and never been able to explain. In this one I walk you through all three. The black dog they call the Snarly Yow, that has held a stretch of the Appalachian Trail over South Mountain near Harpers Ferry for two hundred years, and that no man has ever found a way past. The single line a fire lookout wrote in his logbook one night, out over the Great Smoky Mountains, on a ridge where nothing ever burned, that he could not bring himself to cross out. And the Devil's Tramping Ground itself, down in Chatham County, where the ring of bare dirt throws back anything you dare leave on it after dark. Subscribe and sit by the fire a while. I will keep telling you the things these mountains would sooner you never knew. #Appalachia #AppalachianMysteries #DevilsTrampingGround #SnarlyYow #AppalachianFolklore #TrueAppalachia #Unexplained #GhostStories
