description:
Containing over one hundred fascinating accounts and commentaries of dark mountain magic, superstitions and haints, these tales range from the bizarre to downright spine tingling. Specializing in taking readers on a timeless journey through the Central Appalachian Mountains, Appalachian Magazine's latest publication explores not only the ghost stories of days gone by, but seeks to explain the backstories of how beliefs in mystical mountain witches, fairies, and old fashioned haints developed and thrived for generations. The book also explores the role mountain religion played in countering these beliefs, as well as perpetuating these very same teachings.
