In this episode of Lost Appalachia, we dig into one of the region’s oldest and strangest legends: the Moon-Eyed People. From their roots in Cherokee tradition to early settler accounts and the mysterious stone structures scattered across the mountains, we explore who—or what—these pale, nocturnal beings might have been. We look at the real history behind the myth, leaving you to decide whether the Moon-Eyed People were spirits, an ancient tribe, or something else entirely.
