This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! The Appalachian Mountains have long been steeped in mystery, folklore, and chilling tales of the supernatural. From whispered ghost stories to terrifying cryptid encounters, this rugged region of the United States is a hotbed of paranormal activity. But could some of these entities be more than folklore? Could they be demonic in nature, taking on monstrous forms that haunt the forests? In this Grave Talks Classic Episode, we sit down with John and Elijah Henderson, a father-and-son duo who grew up surrounded by the myths and mysteries of Appalachia. Their lives have been shaped by the region's traditions and superstitions, but also by firsthand encounters with things that defy explanation. John raises the haunting question: Can demonic entities disguise themselves as terrifying beasts in the forest? What if the cryptids that so many claim to see—shadowy figures, monstrous creatures, glowing eyes in the dark—aren't unknown animals at all, but manifestations of something darker? Together, John and Elijah share their journey into a world where ghosts are seen not just in abandoned houses, but in the mountains themselves. A world where cryptids walk hand in hand with folklore, and where demonic oppression may take forms we least expect. Suppose you've ever been fascinated by Appalachian folklore, ghost stories, cryptid sightings, or demonic encounters. In that case, this episode will make you question everything you thought you knew about what lurks in the forest after dark. The Appalachians aren't just beautiful—they're haunted.

Known for her deep research and personal experiences, Pat shines a light on a culture rich with history, tradition, and supernatural lore that has been passed down for generations.   The Appalachian Mountains are more than just rolling hills and winding roads—they are alive with stories. Pat O'Keefe has spent years preserving these tales, especially those of the **granny witches**—wise women of the mountains who carried with them a blend of herbal knowledge, folk magic, and spiritual practices that bridged the gap between the physical and unseen worlds. In this episode, she shares her passion for uncovering these stories and explains why the traditions of Appalachian magic are so important to preserve in our fast-moving modern world.   We dive into the heart of Pat's work and talk about: * **The legacy of Appalachian granny witches** – who they were, what they believed, and how they healed both body and soul. * **The intersection of folklore and the paranormal** – from ghostly apparitions in mountain hollers to unexplained lights in the woods. * **Pat's documentary work** – capturing the voices of locals who grew up hearing stories of spells, cures, omens, and encounters that defy logic. * **The role of faith, superstition, and nature** in shaping Appalachian spiritual practices. * How these traditions influence paranormal investigators and researchers today.   What makes Pat's storytelling so powerful is her connection to the land and the people. She doesn't just collect stories—she honors them. With warmth and authenticity, she explains how folklore has always been a way for Appalachian families to pass down wisdom, cope with hardship, and stay connected to the mysteries of life and death. For our listeners who love ghost stories, Pat also shares chilling accounts of haunted cabins, spectral figures along mountain paths, and eerie experiences that leave even seasoned investigators at a loss for explanation. But beyond the chills, this episode opens up a deeper conversation about belief, tradition, and the ways humans make sense of the unknown. If you've ever been fascinated by folk magic, mountain mysteries, or the idea that the veil between worlds is just a little thinner in certain places, this is an episode you won't want to miss.   Pat O'Keefe reminds us that the paranormal isn't always about high-tech equipment or big investigations—it's about listening to the voices of those who came before us, and understanding how they saw the world. In doing so, we keep those stories alive and maybe even open ourselves to new experiences with the unexplained.   So grab your headphones, settle in, and join us as we journey into the Appalachian hills with Pat O'Keefe on this week's *222 Paranormal Podcast*.

While I'm at Dragon Con, here's an old Patreon episode about Tennessee water mysteries, including some spooky sightings of what were probably bears, and some mystery fish! Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. As this episode goes live, I should be at Dragon Con, so I decided to go ahead and schedule an old Patreon episode to run instead of trying to get a new episode ready in time. It's about some water mysteries in my home state of Tennessee, although I actually just moved away from Tennessee to Georgia. Tennessee is in the southeastern United States, a long thin state divided into three geographical sections. East Tennessee borders the southern Appalachian Mountains, Middle Tennessee is on the Cumberland Plateau, and West Tennessee borders the Mississippi River. The only natural lake in the state is Reelfoot in northwestern Tennessee, a shallow, swampy body of water formed in the early 19th century. Before 1811, instead of a lake a small river flowed through the area, a tributary of the Mississippi. In earlier accounts, Reelfoot River is called Red Foot River. Most of the residents of the area at the time were Choctaw, although white settlers lived in the small town of New Madrid near the bank of the Mississippi. From December 1811 through February 1812, a series of earthquakes in the New Madrid Seismic Zone changed the land radically. There were three main quakes and innumerable smaller ones, ranging from an estimated 6.7 for the smallest quake to a possible 8.8 for the largest. In the initial quake and aftershocks on 16 December 1811, chimneys collapsed, trees fell, and fissures opened and closed, projecting water or sand high in the air. Boats on the Mississippi capsized as huge waves crashed from bank to bank. A woman named Eliza Bryan, who lived in New Madrid, wrote an account of the quakes: On the 16th of December, 1811, about 2 o'clock a.m., a violent shock of earthquake, accompanied by a very awful noise, resembling loud but distant thunder, but hoarse and vibrating, followed by complete saturation of the atmosphere with sulphurous vapor, causing total darkness. The screams of the inhabitants, the cries of the fowls and beasts of every species, the falling trees, and the roaring of the Mississippi, the current of which was retrograde for a few minutes, owing, as it is supposed, to an eruption in its bed, formed a scene truly horrible. From this time on until the 4th of February the earth was in continual agitation, visibly waving as a gentle sea. On that day there was another shock…and on the 7th, at about 4 o'clock a.m., a concussion took place so much more violent than those preceding it that it is denominated the ‘hard shock.' The Mississippi first seemed to recede from its banks, and its waters gathered up like a mountain… Then, rising 15 or 20 feet perpendicularly and expanding, as it were, at the same time, the banks overflowed with a retrograde current rapid as a torrent. A riverboat captain reported in another account that his boat was caught in a ferocious current on the Mississippi, crashing across waves he estimated as six feet high, or 1.8 m. He also reported whirlpools that he estimated were 30 feet deep, or 9 m. He saw all the trees on either bank fall at once. The December quake was so large it was felt across North America, from Canada to the Gulf Coast. Then, only five weeks later, it happened again, followed by the third major earthquake on 7 February. Only 15 miles, or 24 km, from the epicenter, the land dropped 20 feet, or 6 m, and created a basin that immediately filled with water. Reelfoot Lake was formed, Tennessee's only natural lake. Reelfoot is a state park these days, popular with boaters, fishers, hunters, and birdwatchers. The only cryptid sighting I could find took place in the Glass community near Obion, within ten miles, or 16 km, of the lake. A man who grew up in Glass reported in 2009 that a bipeda...

In the shadow of the ancient Appalachian Mountains, where morning mist clings to valleys older than memory, something walks on two legs that shouldn't exist. Tonight's bone-chilling episode takes you deep into the heart of America's most enduring mystery, beginning with a terrifying encounter from 1879 when the Henderson family of Craig County, Virginia came face to face with an eight-foot-tall nightmare peering through their kitchen window.This was no bear, no trick of the light, but something with eyes that held an intelligence both ancient and terrible. We journey back through centuries of horror, starting with the Cherokee people who knew these mountains harbored Tsul'Kalu, the slant-eyed giant with seven fingers on each massive hand. Their legends speak not of a simple beast but of a being with disturbing intelligence, one that could take human brides and transform into the horrifying Raven Mocker, capable of stealing hearts from living victims without leaving a single mark. These weren't campfire stories but warnings passed down with the deadly seriousness of survival knowledge, including the haunting tale of a Cherokee woman whose mysterious suitor turned out to be something that had to fold itself to fit inside her dwelling, its head scraping the rafters while its feet touched the opposite wall. As European settlers pushed into the wilderness, they encountered their own nightmares. We reveal the suppressed military records from the Civil War, when both Union and Confederate soldiers witnessed a massive figure walking among the battlefield dead at Droop Mountain, tenderly checking bodies and carrying wounded soldiers to safety with inhuman strength. The lumber camps of the late 1800s became theaters of terror, particularly the 1909 incident at Spruce Knob where something systematically destroyed an entire logging operation with its bare hands, tearing apart steam engines and leaving a message written in twisted metal and shattered wood that couldn't be clearer: leave these mountains or die.The modern era brought no relief from the terror. In 1959, a one-room schoolhouse in Buchanan County became a prison of fear when something tried every door and window while eight children and their teacher huddled in terror, watching massive fingers with yellowed nails reach through a partially open window. The creature's face appeared at each window in turn, ancient and terrible, with glowing yellow eyes that showed an intelligence that made its interest in the children all the more horrifying.The creation of the Appalachian Trail opened a new chapter of encounters, with experienced hikers and military veterans reduced to cowering in their tents as something massive circled their camps, attempting to speak in sounds that almost formed words, as if desperately trying to communicate across an impossible divide. The 1976 case of former Marine David Carpenter, who abandoned his thru-hike after something rehung his food bag fifteen feet higher than humanly possible, demonstrates that even hardened soldiers found themselves outmatched by whatever walks these ridges.We explore the modern explosion of sightings, including the 2006 Hungry Mother State Park incidents witnessed by multiple families, where a creature showed particular interest in tents containing children, approaching with a curiosity that parents found more terrifying than any aggression. The narrative reaches into the digital age with thermal drone footage from 2023 showing multiple bipedal heat signatures moving through the forest canopy, communicating with each other using vocalizations that linguistic experts claim show patterns consistent with language structure.Throughout this journey into darkness, we hear from the witnesses themselves, from nineteenth-century German settlers who watched in horror as something lifted entire roof structures off cabins, to modern researchers like Jeff Carpenter who looked into the eyes of these creatures and saw an intelligence that challenged everything he thought he knew about the natural world. The West Virginia Bigfoot Museum's collection of over three hundred footprint casts shows anatomical features that experts say would be nearly impossible to fake consistently across decades of hoaxes. But perhaps most chilling are the habituation sites, where property owners claim to have established ongoing contact with these entities, revealing not mere animals but beings with family structures, moral codes, and a culture that predates human presence in these mountains. One retired biology professor's five-year study suggests these creatures possess an intelligence that may equal or exceed our own, watching us from the forest edge with patience that spans generations. As we reach our terrifying conclusion, we're left with the understanding that every night in the six-hundred-thousand square miles of Appalachia, someone experiences something that will haunt them forever. The mountains themselves seem complicit in hiding these creatures, keeping secrets in their shadowed valleys and mist-shrouded peaks.The Cherokee elders remind us that Tsul'Kalu never left; we simply stopped seeing him, existing as he does in the space between the physical and spirit worlds, appearing when he chooses to remind us that we are not the only intelligence walking these ancient paths.When you hear something outside your window tonight, when your dog refuses to go outside, when you glimpse movement in the forest that doesn't match any known animal, remember that in the darkest corners of Appalachia, the monsters are real, they are intelligent, and they are closer than you think.Sleep well, if you can, knowing that somewhere in those blue-ridged mountains tonight, ancient eyes are watching from the treeline, massive footprints are being pressed into the soft earth, and the thin veil between legend and reality grows thinner with each passing hour. The mountains remember what we choose to forget, and in that remembering, the terror endures, waiting for the moment when humanity is finally ready to accept that we were never alone in these hills.

Understanding how wind and thermals work in the hill country can make or break your deer hunting success. In this video, Beau Martonik and the crew break down exactly how wind currents and thermals interact, why bucks use them to their advantage, and how you can adjust your hunting strategy to avoid getting busted.

Welcome to Day 2689 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2689 – A Joyful Life Because God Is Life Putnam Church Message – 08/03/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John “A Joyful Life - God is Life.”   Last week, we began a new systematic verse-by-verse study of the letters 1, 2, & 3 John, followed by Jude with insights and introduction to 1, 2, & 3 John., This week, we will begin going through these letters, and today, we will cover 1 John 1:1-4 as we explore “A Joyful Life - God is Life.” Let's read 1 John 1:1-4 from the NIV, which is found on page 1898 of your Pew Bibles. That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 2 The life appeared;/ we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father/ and has appeared to us. 3 We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We write this to make our[a] joy complete. Opening Prayer The Old Elder's Sacred Hymnal Imagine, if you will, a community nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains, where generations had always found their deepest solace and strongest unity in the act of worship. At the very heart of their gatherings was a sacred treasure: the Sacred Hymnal. It was an ancient, hand-bound volume, filled not just with words and notes, but with the very deep and rich hymns of the faith that had been the core of their Christian community for centuries. This Hymnal held the essence of their spiritual identity,> their history with the Lord, their enduring promises, and their profound, unshakeable joy. Its melodies and truths had been intimately given and taught by the Divine Composer Himself, who had shared His very heart in song through His Beloved Son. Now, only a few, very old members of this community, the Original Witness Bearers, had actually walked and sung with the Beloved Son. They had seen Him teach the very first hymns, had heard His voice ring out with divine authority, and had even felt the tangible presence of His Spirit as their hands held the first copies of the Hymnal's truths. Their lives were utterly intertwined with these living songs. But as years turned into decades, and the younger generations grew up, many had begun to rely on distant echoes of the hymns. Some knew the words on the page, but the melody had faded in their hearts. Others listened to flimsy, modern tunes, catchy but shallow, that lacked the profound depth and spiritual weight of the originals. A subtle, lethargic boredom, a kind of spiritual apathy, crept into the community. The initial thrill of shared worship

Welcome to Day 2684 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2684 – Insights and Introduction: 1, 2 & 3 John Putnam Church Message – 07/27/2025 Sermon Series: 1, 2, & 3 John Insights and Introduction: 1, 2 & 3 John   Last week was the final message in our New Testament Orientation Series, and we learned about: The Church, Salvation, and Eschatology: God's Unfolding Plan.” This week, we begin a new systematic verse-by-verse study of the letters 1, 2, & 3 John, followed by Jude. If it goes as planned, it should take us up to Thanksgiving. Today, we will cover some insights and an introduction to the letters from John. While we won't focus on any verses, we will anchor today's teaching on 1 John 1:3-4 3 We proclaim to you what we ourselves have actually seen and heard so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. 4 We are writing these things so that you may fully share our joy.[b] Opening Prayer The Old Storyteller's Ancient Text Imagine, if you will, a community nestled deep in the Appalachian Mountains, where generations had always depended on the wisdom passed down through cherished narratives. Their most precious possession was the Ancient Text, a truly sacred book of wisdom. It wasn't just old parchment; it held the very essence of their mountain identity, their family history, their enduring promises, and their profound joy. This Text had been intimately penned and bestowed by the Founding Elder himself, a wise and benevolent patriarch who had received its truths directly from the very Source of Ancient Wisdom. Now, only a few, very old members of this community, the Original Scribes and Storytellers, had actually lived with the Founding Elder. They had seen him write the Text with his own hand, heard his direct explanations of its profound truths, and literally handled its pages, studying its intricate details. Their lives were interwoven with the Text's living story. As the Original Scribes and Storytellers grew older, nearing the twilight of their days, they noticed a troubling trend in the valley. Younger folks, who had never personally met the Founding Elder, were starting to forget the true nature of the Ancient Text. Instead of seeking out the Original Scribes for genuine understanding, they were listening to "Whispers from the Fading Pages." These whispers weren't outright lies, not at first. Some claimed, "Oh, the Text is purely for personal interpretation; you don't need to actually read its words or live by its wisdom, just feel its presence." Others spread rumors that "the Text's wisdom is too old-fashioned for these new times." Still others introduced cheap, flimsy pamphlets, filled with easy platitudes, that looked shiny and new but utterly lacked the profound truth and life-changing power of the Ancient Text. These whispers created confusion, apathy, and subtle divisions within the extended mountain family. The most...

Near-death experiences have been reported since the dawn of humankind. In almost all cases, the stories are very similar.Every year, around 350,000 people in the United States experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital setting. Worldwide data is staggering. Very few of these people survive; of the ten percent who do, a few report experiencing a life-after-death memory. The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) has estimated that 85% of children who experienced cardiac arrest have had a near-death experience. This rate is more than twice that of an adult.In this book, you will read personal accounts of people who have been successfully revived after they were pronounced dead. Each has their own account, but you will see a similar theme in each - how each of them had to face their decision-making during their lifetime and whether those decisions were bad or good. Each had to stand in some form of judgment. This correlates to the principles taught in the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religions.BioJonathan Gregory Reed was born and raised in southern Virginia, in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains.

Come with us to Arab, Alabama, to meet Phyllis Light, herbalist, responsible forager, native plant conservation advocate, founder of the Appalachian Center for Natural Health, and author of Southern Folk Medicine: Healing Traditions from the Appalachian Fields and Forests. Phyliss Light was born on Brindlee Mountain, in this southwest extension of the Appalachian Mountains, into a family with Creek and Cherokee Indian roots. She learned herbalism from her grandmother, and spent long days of her childhood “gleaning” – harvesting wild foods and medicines, fishing and hunting, with her father. “It was a very practical kind of herbalism,” Phyliss explains, “if it didn't work, we didn't use it. We didn't have the money to go to the doctor unless it was something drastic.” As an adult she was an apprentice of the late Tommie Bass, the world-renowned healer known as “the Herb Doctor of Shinbone Ridge.” Although she has taught herbal medicine across the US, she has lived her whole life, and raised her family, on Brindlee Mountain. “There are over four thousand species of plants in this state,” she says, “and this is the place I know best-I've never needed to live anywhere else.”  Her book, Traditional Southern Folk Medicine, combines her unmatched knowledge of native plant medicine with deeply researched history into how this uniquely American healing tradition evolved, and how it has never been more relevant or needed than it is today.     

Mimic Cryptids and Creatures This week we discuss mimics - creatures that disguise themselves by imitating the voices and appearances of our loved ones. We explore the umbrella term of "mimic" and break down the various cryptids that fall under this category, from the familiar doppelgangers and skinwalkers to the lesser-known but equally disturbing Fleshgait and False Humans. These entities are said to lurk in forests, particularly around the Appalachian Mountains, using their supernatural abilities to lure unsuspecting victims by perfectly replicating the voices of family members and friends calling out from the darkness. We also share five creepy encounters from Reddit users who've experienced these deceptive creatures firsthand, including stories from Tennessee cabins, Minneapolis parks, and remote Montana wilderness. From hearing a sister's voice calling from outside while she sits right next to you, to a boyfriend's doppelganger appearing bedside with unnaturally wide eyes, these accounts are sure to give you some chills!

When a schoolteacher's borrowed BBC computer began displaying mysterious messages from a 16th-century scholar and beings from the year 2109, it sparked one of England's most bewildering paranormal cases.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: In Victorian London, a grisly murder case involving Maria and Frederick Manning shocked society and caught the attention of Charles Dickens himself. What began as a love triangle turned into a chilling tale of greed, betrayal, and murder, culminating in a public execution that would challenge the very nature of capital punishment in Great Britain. (The Murderous Mannings) *** In 1720, amidst a perilous pirate attack on the Atlantic, a newborn's cry changed the course of destiny. Ocean-Born Mary, christened by buccaneers and gifted with a bolt of green silk, would grow from a maritime legend into a symbol of courage and resilience in colonial New England, her extraordinary birth weaving a tapestry of fact and fiction that continues to captivate imaginations centuries later. (A Pirate's Godchild, Ocean-Born Mary) *** On the morning of June 20, 2001, Andrea Yates shocked the nation by drowning her five children, one by one, in the family bathtub. Years of untreated mental illness, compounded by religious fanaticism and postpartum psychosis, culminated in this unimaginable tragedy. Was it the work of a tortured mind, or something darker at play? (Did The Devil Make Her Do It?) *** Deep in the ancient folds of the Appalachian Mountains, where time seems to slow and shadows linger, legends have taken root for millennia. These peaks have become a breeding ground for supernatural tales that blend seamlessly with the landscape. The sheer age and untamed nature of Appalachia have given birth to a rich tapestry of myths, from the Mothman, to ghosts, to the Devil himself. (Modern Mythology and Ancient Appalachia) *** In the heart of Preston, Ladywell Street is infamous for a chilling spectral presence capable of shifting forms—from eerie footsteps to a blood-soaked apparition known as the Bannister Doll. Once a beautiful young woman, Dolly Bannister met a tragic death at the hands of her father, a punishment for a crime she didn't commit. Now, her restless spirit seeks retribution, haunting the streets and striking fear into anyone who dares to cross her path. (The Haunting of Ladywell Street) *** In 1984, a sleepy English village became the unlikely stage for a mind-bending mystery when a schoolteacher's computer began receiving messages from a man claiming to be from 1546. As past and present collided through a BBC Micro, Ken Webster and his friends found themselves entangled in a web of Tudor English, future prophecies, and inexplicable phenomena that would challenge everything they thought they knew about time and technology.
