Appalachia is home to more than just scenic views—it's a landscape filled with things that defy explanation. In this episode of Spooky Appalachia, we explore five terrifying eyewitness reports sent in by listeners who saw things that shouldn't exist.

  • The Blacksburg Gargoyle: A late-night drive near Mountain Lake, Virginia, reveals a large, winged creature squatted on the shoulder of the road—bigger than a dog but smaller than a cow.
  • The Floating Man of West Virginia: A father and son witness a tall, human-like figure jump and float into the treetops, later returning with glowing red eyes .
  • The "Freak" in the Suburbs: A woman waiting for an Uber is stalked by a low-slung creature with yellow eyes that seems to speak aggressive, distorted words from the tree line.
  • The Winged Man in Combat Boots: In 1983, a teenager is followed for miles by a 7-foot-tall bird-man who clings to her car, leading to four hours of "missing time"
  • The Transparent Stalker: A commuter in rural Maryland spots a transparent, humanoid figure swinging through the branches like a monkey, seemingly stalking her vehicle.
