Welcome to Storyteller, where every episode is a new chapter of mystery, wonder, and the unexpected.

In this spine-tingling kickoff to our Appalachian spooky series, Courtney and Teresa trade mountain mist for moonlight as they record from deep in the Blue Ridge—where legends breathe through the fog and the past never really rests.

This week, we check into one of Virginia’s most haunted and storied places: The Martha Washington Inn in historic Abingdon. Once a family mansion, then a college, and later a Civil War hospital, The Martha has witnessed centuries of love, loss, and tragedy. And some say… not everyone who entered ever truly left.

From the ghostly violin of a devoted nurse to the phantom horse that still searches for its fallen rider, to whispers rising from tunnels where the dead were sealed into stone—this is a story steeped in beauty, sorrow, and the supernatural.

So draw your curtains, pour a drink, and settle in. Because tonight, we’re unraveling the haunting history of The Martha Washington Inn… where every creak, sigh, and flicker of candlelight might be something watching back.
