Front Porch Special: Appalachia…Just Follow the Rules

As a special bonus episode of Front Porch Mysteries, we’re stepping away from our usual deep dive to explore one of the most chilling collections of folklore ever passed down through the mountains.

In Appalachia, there are rules everyone seems to know… but no one can explain.

Don’t whistle after dark. Don’t answer when something calls your name from the woods. If the forest suddenly goes silent, leave. And whatever you do… don’t look into the tree line.

For generations, these warnings have been shared from porch to porch and family to family, not as stories, but as advice. Whether they’re rooted in superstition, survival, or something far stranger is up to you to decide.

Pull up a chair as we explore the eerie rules, legends, and mountain folklore that have made Appalachia one of the most mysterious places in America.

Because around here… sometimes the safest thing you can do is just follow the rules.

Episode 1: Mr. Mothman…Just a Wholesome Feller?

A towering winged creature. Glowing red eyes. A quiet town that would never be the same.

In November 1966, strange sightings began around Point Pleasant, West Virginia. What started as a terrifying encounter quickly became one of America’s most enduring paranormal mysteries. Was the Mothman a cryptid, a warning of impending disaster, a government experiment, or simply a case of mass hysteria?

In this premiere episode of Front Porch Mysteries, Alex and Ashley pull up a chair to explore the history, eyewitness accounts, conspiracy theories, and possible explanations behind the legend of the Mothman. From the abandoned TNT Area to the tragic collapse of the Silver Bridge, we separate documented facts from decades of folklore and speculation.

So grab a seat, keep the porch light on, and decide for yourself…

Was Mothman a monster, a messenger, or something else entirely?
