In the mountains of central Appalachia, blood runs as deep as these hollers and just as dark.

  • Hello family…

    This is my go-to podcast when I want to temporarily escape ookey reality for ookey campfire-type stories. Each one is well produced and I am usually binging each season’s worth of episodes like I would read “just one more chapter before I turn off the lights and go to sleep” back in the 80s & 90s. Many of the settings are near enough to places I have lived in my 55+ years above the dirt so I can easily picture most story scenes in my mind’s eye.

  • Really?!

    I used to really enjoy these tales,

    but lately it seems like they’re injecting bits of wokeness into the stories. I’m not interested in watching something I enjoy get destroyed by wokeness, ONCE AGAIN!

    I’ll check in on you in a year to see if you’ve gone full woke or not.

    Good luck.

    I’m out.

  • Truly unsettling

    This is one of the only horror podcasts that makes me want to sleep with the light on!

    I’m on my second run through and still realise new things I didn’t get the first time around.
