NC Moonshine Mysteries: One Tall Tale, One True Legend


Listen Later

In this episode of the Blue Ridge True Crime Podcast, host Alfred Dockery explores the tales of two infamous North Carolina moonshiners - the elusive Charles Folias, known as the whiskey caveman, and Huldah Nines, a cunning woman blockade distiller. Delving into stories of underground stills, dangerous encounters, and clever evasions of the law, Alfred seeks to separate fact from fiction. While Folias' account remains shrouded in mystery and possibly myth, Nines' story is authenticated by multiple newspaper reports and her eventual imprisonment. The episode also highlights the significant role wildlife played in these historical narratives and ends with references for further reading and viewing, including links to related videos and historical resources.
