Join us in kicking off season two of the Appalachian Spooky Hour, as we discuss the history of the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. This hospital left a dismal scar on Appalachia, that people will never forget. Let's dive in, and find out just why this place may be one of the most haunted locations in the world.

Greetings, Spookies! This is the second Halloween special for 2022, and the finale of season one of the Appalachian Spooky Hour, featuring yet another special guest! In this episode M.J. Kerr and I discuss some of the many cryptids of Appalachia. Do we believe in Bigfoot? What are our feelings on the Cherokee Death Cat? Find out in this episode, as we take a deep dive into some of the more mysterious creatures of the area. 

Greetings, Spookies! This is the first of two special Halloween episodes of the Appalachian Spooky Hour, featuring brand new guests! In this episode Shell and I discuss Eastern State Penitentiary, from it's interesting (and sometimes weirdly funny) history, to the violent shift that has made it the haunted landmark it has become today. I hope you'll join us as we venture north to Pennsylvania, on the far fringes of Appalachia, to discuss this piece of haunted history.

Join us for the first of three new October episodes in honor of spooky season! In this episode we discuss the moon-eyed people, an old Appalachian legend that stems from Cherokee lore. Or does it? Find out all about this race of strange crypto human, and share your thoughts on whether or not you think they existed (or still do)!

Something strange lurks within the boundaries of Pilot's Knob Cemetery. Is it haunted by the ghost of a young girl named Mary Evelyn, unjustly burned alive for being a witch? Or is there something more sinister going on inside these hallowed grounds? In this episode we explore the lore, the supposed truth, and the mystery surrounding the witch girl and her most unusual burial site.
