The Kentucky Brothers Too Evil for the History Books - Asa & Lige Pellam

Appalachian horror, told from the record. In the Kentucky mountains, high on a creek that runs toward the Clay County gap, two brothers named Asa and Lige Pellam traded at the store below their place for 11 years, and in those 11 years 9 men who went up past them never came down again. In 1953, at 91 years old, the last person who ever walked up to the Pellam place and came back down swore out a statement of what she saw at their table, and the county clerk wrote 3 words across the top of it and buried it: not to be copied.
