Mountains and rock formations always carry many tales and legends within the South, while many have settings of wars and civilizations, they also house beauty and mystique, drawing captivation and history, enter Lookout Mountain. While Lookout Mountain does have its far share of history, the mountain does have many roadside attractions & state parks, and depending on which state you are in, depends on which attractions you will see, but one of these attractions is situated in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and is by far the most famous of all the attractions in the area, going all the way back to the Great Depression, and its history as a geological marvel of nature, reaches back several thousands of years before that, on top of the mountain, through the fairyland caverns, lies the small world of "Rock City".

In the Appalachian Mountains, once lived a group of mysterious occupants. According to the native peoples accounts, who made contact with them, they were small, bearded men with pale skin, & blue eyes, that were said to be a nocturnal race that only emerged from their deep underground caves at night, as according to Cherokee Tradition & Folk tales, this was due to their skin & eyes being to sensitive to the sun, thus giving these mysterious people the name, "The Moon-Eyed People." Various tales have been told over time about the Moon Eyed People stretching from North Carolina all the way to Alabama, but could this lost civilization of blue-eyed people be true or false?

Every religion has a story of creation, of how man & woman became to inhabit & flourish life on Earth, of how a supernatural being, bigger than us, created a Terrestrial Paradise or simply a paradise, the biblical "Garden of God". We never forget certain aspects of this biblical story....Adam and Eve wondering around the garden in the nude due to their innocence, God forbidding Adam & Eve from eating fruit from the "Tree of Knowledge", or how Eve was tempted by a snake to eat an apple, causing a disruption, Adam & Eve's disobedience against God.
While scholars and other archaeologists have never been able to find the Garden of Eden, one man , a preacher, thinks he found the "Garden of God", the earthly paradise, full of water & fruit, in the small town of Bristol, Florida. In the 1950s, Elvy Edison Callaway, a Baptist preacher, retired lawyer, and Republican candidate for governor, bought some land he believed to be the Earthly Paradise, and developed it into the "Garden of Eden" park setting off one of the most bizarre theories on the "Garden of Eden".

When I say the word Transylvania, what comes to mind? for most people it brings up the images of blood sucking vampires & castles. What if I told you there is another Transylvania, and this Transylvania was not located in Europe, but in Lexington, Kentucky, that has more scientific teaching instruments than any college in America except Harvard, would you believe me? Transylvania University, in the many years its been serving up academic achievements, has also turned out some very interesting history. One of those bits of history is the Transylvania Moosnick Museum or as its actually called The Monroe Moosnick Museum and it displays some very interesting oddities.

Throughout history, there has always been certain types of people, who are able to influence others with bizarre doctrines & unnatural religious teachings, claiming to be divine in nature or prophets of God, pulling many under their wicked spell. One of those self-proclaimed prophets was, John Samuel Barker. Barker might of looked like a sickly man, but he had the incredible abilities of public speaking. This self-proclaimed prophet of God influenced a number of people to depart from churches of Christ to follow his peculiar teachings, forming the cult known as the Barker Rites.
