Deep in the misty mountains of Western North Carolina, a mysterious creature is said to roam—The Boojum. Is it Bigfoot? Or a mountain recluse? This legendary figure is known for his love of rare gemstones and his eerie, mournful wails echoing through the valleys. Some say he watches from the shadows, collecting treasure in hidden caves, while others claim his ghostly presence still lingers in the Blue Ridge. In this episode, we uncover the origins of the Boojum legend and discuss why this strange Appalachian myth has endured for over a century.
