Bridge to Beyond: Ghosts of New River Gorge


Listen Later

Show Notes:In this episode, we’re heading deep into the misty hollows of New River Gorge National Park, where beauty and darkness intertwine. 

We dive into ghost stories and eerie legends from the heart of West Virginia, where strange whispers echo through the woods and history refuses to stay buried. Hear chilling tales of ghostly miners, tragic smallpox outbreaks, and the mysterious hauntings of Red Ash Island, a place shrouded in sorrow and spectral sightings.

You'll meet the elusive Lantern Man, encounter the mysterious Nunnehi, and uncover the darker side of this wild and rugged landscape. From Appalachian folklore to real-life tragedy, we peel back the layers of one of America’s most hauntingly beautiful parks.
