In June 2026, I had the incredible honor of taking the stage at the Grafton Monster Festival to discuss the journey of Spooky Appalachia. This episode captures that live talk, offering a rare look behind the curtain at how this project evolved from a passion for regional legends into the thriving community platform it is today.
Throughout the presentation, I reflect on why this channel has always been focused on the people the listeners who bravely share their real-life encounters from across the mountains. We move beyond the myths to explore the raw, unsettling cryptid reports coming straight from the front lines of the night shift. These are the stories that remind us all why we keep our eyes on the treeline. Whether you are a long-time follower or new to the lore of our hills, this bonus episode offers a heartfelt and chilling look at what it takes to curate the stories that haunt our landscape.
