"The grinning man", Indrid Cold, is an elusive humanoid entity in Appalachia. Is he connected to Mothman? Is he actually Valiant THOR? We explore these possibilities in this episode as well as Woodrow Derenberger's book and experiences, and Stranger at the Pentagon.

Y'all, I lost brain cells researching for this episode. Get ready for the most cynical thoughts segment yet.

Also, I had some editing help this time around, and the pacing of this episode is much faster than usual. Do you prefer this faster pace, or the usual?

Obscure Appalachia LIVE will be 6:00pm October 29th at Downtown Drafts in Gainesville, Georgia.

TW: Extraterrestrials. Very poor novel writing.
