This week Nat teaches Aly all about The Legend of The Moon Eyed People! The lore of the Appalachian Mountains contains a legend of supernatural creatures littered among the trees. From the north of Georgia all the way up to Southern Carolina, mysterious stone structures have been found. Dating back from hundreds to thousands of years old, the stones have baffled historians. Archaeologists don’t know exactly who created these structures, but local Cherokee legend insists that a group of supernatural alien-hybrids known as "The Moon Eyed People" are responsible. The Moon Eyed People were described as short and round, with "milky white" skin, large moon-shaped eyes, and a nocturnal underground lifestyle. Who were the Moon Eyed People? Listen to find out!
