The Glowing Phantom and the Casket Factory Haunting
<p>In this episode of Spooky Appalachia, we explore two unsettling accounts that prove some things in the mountains refuse to be ignored.</p><p>First, we travel back to 1954 to hear a harrowing childhood encounter. A nine-year-old boy wakes in the middle of the night to find a glowing, disembodied head drifting toward his bed—an entity that would haunt his family for generations to come. What was this strange light, and why did it follow them long after they left the family home?</p><p>Next, we head to the 1970s and a newspaper office built inside a former casket factory. After a photographer decides to play a cruel prank on a superstitious coworker, he finds himself targeted by the building’s true inhabitants. From disembodied voices and the suffocating feeling of being followed, to a chilling apparition at the top of the stairs, this is a haunting reminder that you should always be careful who—or what—you provoke in the dark.</p><br><p>Have your own story?

Beyond Wytheville: The 1987 Virginia UFO Flap Continued
<p>In our previous episode, we dove deep into the infamous 1987 Wytheville, Virginia, UFO flap. The response was overwhelming. We were flooded with emails and comments from listeners across Southwest Virginia ordinary people who had been keeping extraordinary secrets for nearly forty years.</p><p>It turns out, the "Wytheville Flap" was far more widespread than anyone realized.</p><p>In this episode, we share these chilling, firsthand accounts that paint a much larger picture of that fateful autumn in 1987. From massive, silent black triangles gliding over Galax and Tazewell, to clusters of "bubble-like" craft hovering motionless over mountain ridge lines, and an unsettling, high-strung encounter in Shawsville that left a young witness physically drained the stories are as diverse as they are terrifying. These reports, coming from honest, everyday people who were never looking for attention, confirm one thing: in 1987, the Appalachian sky was full of something that simply did not belong.</p><p>Tune in as we piece together these forgotten sightings and explore the far-reaching impact of the 1987 incursion.</p><br><p>Have your own story?

The True Origins of Spooky Appalachia and Beyond: My Guest Talk at the 2026 Grafton Monster Festival
<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><br><p>Have your own story?
