Smoky Mountain Mysteries is a collection of stories about the magnificent mountains and unique people of Southern Appalachia.
Both are crown jewels of the Master Designer of the Universe - and cauldrons of mysteries.
Most of the stories are true, the others an intriguing mixture of fact and folklore.
Here are some of the stories:
Why are the mountains always smoky?
How did the Melungeons get to America first?
A ghost frolics in Sevierville, Tennessee!
Ghosts dance on Hazel Creek in North Carolina!
Who wrote on Judaculla Rock?
Unsolved riddle - lights on Brown Mountain.
And many more...
