I was asked by a friend on tiktok to tell my favorite story of my great grandmothers, as I recalled it from childhood. I immediately thought of The Gullah legend of the Boohag. Maybe it’s because I have always lived for the scarier side of the folktales or maybe it’s because i feel as tho she was leaving me with help for later on in my own life. There’s another of my favorite tales, as told by her, that is the story of a bird & three trees, that tale tells us why some trees loose their leaves during winter & one particularly does not, that will be the next podcast episode. I hope you enjoy.

Episode 1 of a brand new series on Appalachia! Starting at the very beginning of documented history and working our way to modern day! Join me on this journey thru time, as we discuss the place, the people, the legends & the lore that make up the Appalachian mountains! Along with interviews starring descendants of early Irish settlers, people who still own generational land from the Cherokee land lottery, descendants of brave Cherokees who refused the trail of tears and hid for years in the caves of north Georgia, a 7th son and MORE! For me, Appalachia is home and y’all are family, so grab a chair, sit back, relax and I hope y’all enjoy this new series on Appalachia! Look for new episodes posted EVERY WEEK starting in August 2021!

I found a book I’ve been searching for, some might see it as just a simple composition book, but to me it’s a treasured heirloom I’ve put in a safe place till now. Within the pages, my great grandmother recollected & recorded her personal family tails, legends, & ghost storys, & some of these are what I’m sharing with y’all tonight on this episode & I truly hope you will enjoy!
