In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, the trees grow so thick the sun never touches the forest floor, and the silence is rarely truly empty. This week, we journey into the eastern third of America to explore a land where the veil between our world and the next is dangerously thin. From the stone-skinned Spearfinger of Cherokee legend to the modern-day hikers who walk in circles on straight paths, we’re digging into the superstitions that keep locals indoors after dusk. We’ll sit by the ghost lights of Brown Mountain, trace the history of the "Village of the Damned," and learn why you should never, ever answer a knock at the door after midnight. In Appalachia, if you hear something in the woods... no you didn’t.
